A Navy petty officer has since died of wounds he received in the same shootings.
Bill, glad you caught this story. I hope we can find some way to express our condolences toward Joe Sullivan and his family.
I got a haircut today in Fallbrook. Barber is recent Marine vet and so was the guy in the next chair. That guy knew then-Sgt Sullivan in Iraq, serving together in an LAR. World seems too small some times.
