    Petty Officer 3rd Class Benjamin Swain, left, a corpsman with 3rd Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 1, and Maj. Jeffrey McCormack, right, the operations officer for 1st Battalion, 9th Marines, stand at the site where Benjamin's brother, James, was killed in 2004. "Benjamin was very grateful for the opportunity to see the actual area his brother was killed and the rooftop of the building where the pictures were taken," McCormack said. "I don't want to say it brought closure because the pain of losing a Marine never goes away. The loss of a brother will certainly never go away for Ben. I lost Marine but he lost a brother."
