Lance Cpl. James Swain in a photo taken on Nov. 14, 2004, one day before he was fatally wounded by a gunshot in Fallujah, Iraq. Recently, the brother of the fallen Marine, Petty Officer 3rd Class Benjamin Swain, a corpsman with Battery M, 3rd Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 1, visited the site where his brother gave the ultimate sacrifice for his country. "It felt as if I looked hard enough, I could see him there," Benjamin said. "It all seemed surreal and I'm honestly not too sure how I feel. But I do know I'm glad I went."
