Wells, 21, of Marietta, Ga., was the youngest of the four victims. He was a member of the Marine Forces Reserve.

 

Family spokesperson Andy Kingery told WSB-TV that Wells briefly attended Georgia Southern University but “felt a calling to serve in the Marines.”

 

“We don’t understand the whys. Senseless is a word used too often but this you can’t even hang your hat on,” Kingery said of the attack.

 

His mother, Cathy, provided photos of her son to Fox News. She said the two photos below were taken last week at Disney World when Wells was honored as a service member of the day.

 

Cathy said that her son died doing what he loved for the love of his country and his family.

 

Though many do what they can to recognize and support our troops, occassions like this reveal that no matter how big our gestures are they don't approach the level of gratitude the troops deserve.

 

Semper Fi, Marines.

Well said. So very true.

Since I don't think I can discuss this rationally at this time without offending someone, I'd just like to thank all of those who are serving or who have served on this board in our Nation's fighting forces, our LEO's, and our Firefighters/EMS folks. Thank you.
