The Governor has order all State buildings to fly flags at half-staff on Thursday, December 6, to honor the service and sacrifice of United States Marine Corporal Christopher M. Monahan Jr.
Monahan, a resident of Island Heights and 2005 graduate of Central Regional High School in Bayville, tragically lost his life while supporting Operation Enduring Freedom.
Monahan enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 2006, and was assigned to Combat Logistics
Battalion 2, Combat Logistics Regiment 2, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, II Marine Expeditionary Force, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
“Corporal Monahan was a dedicated Marine as well as a loving husband, father, son, and brother, whose memory lives in the hearts of his family, friends, and fellow Marines”, the executive order said.
Monahan, 25, a husband and father of three, was killed while conducting combat operations in the Helmand province of Afghanistan. This was his third deployment.
“Corporal Monahan’s heroism, patriotism, and service to his country and his fellow Marines make it appropriate and fitting for the State of New Jersey to remember him and his family, to mark his passing, and to honor his
memory.”
Monahan leaves behind a wife and three children. TLS.
We salute Corp. MOnahan and pray for all soldiers who are giving us te opportunity live our lives the way we do.
Bring our servicemen & women home already! Enough is enough! How many more must die?
Thank You Cpl. Monahan
#2. He died so that you can have the freedom to comment like you did. Would you rather have your nose cut off for voicing your opinion ?
Our family thanks you Capl. Monahan. You made our lives a safer. Our prayers are with you and your family.
Clearly, you have no idea what you are talking about! Our freedoms here have nothing to do with what is going on in Afghanistan. If you did your homework you would know that one of the main reasons the U.S. is intent on keeping our guys over there is for the poppy fields.& minerals.That’s right, POPPY FIELDS! Why? you may ask? Well, let’s see,what is the # 1 drug of choice these days? Answer: Heroine (Morphine, Codeine Opiates) How does one make these drugs? Answer: using poppy. Why does the U.S. want it? Because the government is responsible for putting this stuff on the streets & making a lot of $. The pharmaceutical companies want to get their hands on it too. Another reason is that Afghanistan has precious minerals like gold, lithium (which is used to make batteries for cell phones, computers, electric cars, synthetic rubber, lubricants & more) Afghanistan accounts for 90% of the Opium supply under the watchful eye of the U.S. government. I personally know a marine whose sole mission in Afghanistan was to patrol poppy fields! Don’t believe it? Look it up! This whole war on terror was a ruse. There was never any real threat to the United States from Afghanistan other than the fact that they along with other countries want to trade in gold. Gold. Something the U.S. doesn’t have to back the American dollar. Look up how many countries will no longer buy or trade in American dollars. It will include China, Russia, India,S.Africa,Chile, Iran,Japan, Brazil & more!
Bin Laden had nothing to do with 911. He was a patsy. This was planned out by U.S. gov. with the help Mossad. But people who are in denial will never accept the truth! There is absolute evidence that all of the incidents that occurred on 911 were well thought out plans. Since most don’t do any investigating, you will not hear testimonies from witnesses (most of which mysteriously died after coming forth) along with physicists who are adamant about the fact that the WTC buildings collapsing from a plane simply is scientifically not possible. Not to mention the fact that the buildings were turned into dust ! BTW- whatever metal remained was quickly shipped off to China foe recycling before any forensic testing could be done. More & more people are waking up to the fact that things are not as they seem & that our gov. & mass media has & still does lie to us .For those of you who are still in denial- so be it. Don’t take my word for it. You will only know the truth if you do the research .Look it up!!
So YES! BRING OUR SERVICEMEN & WOMEN HOME!!!!
Rest in Peace Corporal Monahan
Simply put: Ignorance truly is bliss!!
It’s apparent that you and others have no idea as to the REAL reason why we are over there. We need to bring our men & women home. They are dying for all the wrong reasons!
