Heaven's Streets Have Another Guard.

I was saddened to learn that General Robert Barrow died today. A native of Louisiana, he was a decorated Marine officer in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, and was later Commandant of the Marine Corps. General Barrow was a cousin on my father's side; I remember him well from my childhood, and later when we attended Grace Church, Saint Francisville, for a while in the mid-90's.

At 86, he lived a full life and served his country well. Semper Fi, sir.
