In Honor Of LCpl Johnathan E Kirk

Marine Lance Cpl. Johnathan Ernest Kirk, 25, of
Belhaven, North Carolina (Pamlico Beach community) died May 1, 2007 from
wounds received while conducting combat operations on April 23, 2007 in Al
Anbar province, Iraq, only three weeks into his tour of duty.

He was assigned to 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion, 2nd Marine Division,
II Marine Expeditionary Force, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

He was a 2000 graduate of Northside High School in Pinetown, North
Carolina and earned a degree from Beaufort County Community College in
electrical work.

Johnathan became our Hero when he first decided to join the United
States Marine Corp. He and my son were best buds (as well as cousins); I
don't think there was anything they wouldn't do for each other. When he
came to visit after boot camp, I hardly recognized the man he had
become. I was, and always will be, so proud of our "Superman".

Posted with love by Dawn Hopkins in Honor of Our Hero, LCpl Johnathan E
Kirk, on what would have been his 26th birthday (March 24, 2008). Rest
in peace; we love and miss you dearly.
