Dustin Ray Chaney

My dear sweet baby boy,

How do I live without you? It's been a week of laughs and tears. Even now, though you are gone, yet you still live in our hearts and our minds. I don't think anyone really realized the true amount of suffering you endured, except me. Even at that, I believe in my heart you were even hiding things from me and you were facing a lifetime of pain an suffering you couldn't endure. I can promise you this...until I take my last breath and we meet again, there will NEVER be a day that goes by that I won't think about you and keep fighting for those who still suffer from the traumas they received from their sacrifices and service. It's unjust, it's unfair, and it's a disgrace to their character. It's because of you and thousands of others that choose to walk a path noone else would that makes this country great. Semper Fi, my love. For you, I am happy and joyful that you have no more suffering or pain. You now reside with the Great Marine, the Great Warrior who gave his son's life for us all, God Almighty, so that we may live with Him in glory for all eternity. I'll see you soon...
Mom

I am sorry that I could not be there but just as Dustin knows from serving proudly with the military as I am doing now, they don't like letting us take leave for anyone who is not a close blood relative. I consider John Scott my brother and along with that I consider all of his family part of my own so even though I am not part of the family I am effected as if I was family. As soon as I can make it home again I will be paying my respects.

Dustin was more to me than a cousin he was an older brother who taught me alot, even though we have not seen much of each other the past few years many of his words still ring in my ears and he still lives in everyones dreams. I miss him greatly and I know everyone does i am no different. My wishes and sincere prayers go out to my aunt, grandmother, mother, and the rest of the family so that we may stand strong as we get used to him no physically being her anymore.

with much Love to everyone,
John
