There are no marine bases anywhere near ground zero. If your father was a marine, then it is highly unlikely that you would be living in New York city. It is possible, given your family situation, but I find it hard to believe.
Also, most marines are young, not much older than me. Very few (but, yet, some) have older children. Also, only a few marines actually died in Iraq. Although the exact numbers are unknown, most have made it back safely.

If you said your Dad died from a heart attack, I'd believe you. If you said your brother died in a car accident, I'd believe you. But I can't believe this. What I believe is that you have a vivid imagination, and are seeking attention. You can play victim all you want and try to make me feel bad, but it is only logical for me to reach such a conclusion. I hope you understand that.
I sincerely apologize for any pain I may have caused you by providing suggestive evidence that you are lying, regardless of whether or not you actually are. This is your welcome back thread, after all. Even if I am correct, and you are totally making everything up, I have nothing against you. Despite the tone of my post, I truly wish to welcome you back to MLK.
