Once a Marine

Don Danz tells the story of Sgt. Rafael Peralta of the USMC, who was mortally wounded in the fight over Fallujah, yet managed in one last heroic act to save four other nearby Marines.

In compiling photos of Sgt. Peralta from his personal life, Don underscores the significance of this fine young man's actions. He was a credit to the Corps.

If you are a Catholic—or belong to another sect that remembers the dead in a special way—say a prayer for him.

If you aren't, do it anyway. And tell me how it feels.
