A Marine friend of my stepson, was stabbed to death Saturday night on the the streets of New Orleans. He and his wife were leaving the Marine Corps Ball, walking back to their hotel room. When some thug in a vehicle started shouting obsence gestures at her. She said something in return, he stopped the vehicle and got out and shoved her to the ground. While her husband tried to get in the way and defend her he was stabbed several times in the chest. The thug got back in the vehicle and drove off. He died a couple of hours later in the hospital. It is a shame that he died her in the streets of America in his dress blues after returning home from Afghanistan safely. Just wanted to pass this along. SEMPER FI
