A Marine friend and I just returned from the military funeral of a U.S. Marine killed in combat in Iraq. It was heartwarming to see a large number of WWII, Korea, 'Nam, and Desert Storm veterans from all branches there to pay their last respects. This is Lance Corporal Aston's obituary:




Trevor David Aston died in Iraq on 22 February 2005. Trevor was a U.S. Marine Lance Corporal assigned to Weapons Company, 1st Battalion, 23rd Marines. Trevor was born in Wilkes-Barre, PA on 6 November 1972. He graduated from Irvin High School in El Paso, TX and attended college in El Paso and Austin, Texas. Trevor has called Austin home for the last 10 years. Trevor was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Abraham and Elsie Azain and his paternal grandfather Trevor Aston, all of Wilkes-Barre, PA. Trevor is survived by his mother, Jewel Ann Aston-formerly of Wilkes-Barre, presently living in Houston, TX and by his father Robert R. Aston and his wife Catherine of El Paso, TX. Also living in Wilkes-Barre is Trevor's paternal grandmother, Lenore J. Aston. Trevor is also survived by longtime friend Alfonso Hernandez, his wife Lisa and their daughter Angelique-to whom Trevor was Godfather. Trevor leaves behind several aunts, uncles, cousins, three step-brothers, and many, many very dear friends. Trevor will be sorely missed by all who knew him. In lieu of flowers please send all donations in Trevor's memory to the Marine Corps Toys-for-Tots Program.
