Captain Warren A. Frank / USMC and Master Sergeant Anthony Davis

My name is Chief Warrant Officer 2 Marc N. Shelton, I am an active

duty U.S. Marine stationed at MCAS Miramar. I wear a hero bracelet bearing

the names of two of the finest men in the world. The bracelet serves as a

small memorial to the Marine Captain and Army Master Sergeant who both lost

their lives on Nov 25th 2008. We were ambushed by terrorists while giving

out food to impoverished Iraqis in the city of Bi'aj located in the Ninewa

Provice.

I was hit several times as well as another Lieutenant Colonel. Even

though injured I was very angry as I watched helplessly as one of my friends

slipped away at my feet. Following the firefight and evac, the MSG passed en

route back to the COP.

Captain Warren A. Frank / USMC and Master Sergeant Anthony Davis / USA are

who I wear my Hero bracelet for. I will never forget them.

My Family wears purple herobraclets to represent my Purple Heart; as

a small reminder of how much I love them and want to keep them and our

country safe from the faces of evil.

Sincerely,

Marc Shelton
