A Marine Corps hero goes home
My Dad, Capt. Fiore C. DiMeo, USMC, Ret., completed his final mission tonight, at 90 years of age.
A veteran of both World War II and the Korean War, he was no stranger to tough fighting.
His final battle was against multiple enemies: congestive heart failure, prostate cancer, pneumonia, & kidney failure.
He fought well, as you would expect from a Marine with 28 years of service.
I was blessed to be at is side when he took his final breath tonight.
Semper Fi, Dad!

Sounds like it might be worth watching
On January 12th, Brothers at War, an award-winning documentary film about an American military family facing the crucible of war, was released on DVD.
This documentary beautifully expresses why we are so passionate about supporting our military service members and their families. Soldiers’ Angels was proud to help spread the word about this great documentary when it was in theaters, and proud to continue that support.
Please read on to find out how you can help, including a way to support Soldiers’ Angels by receiving a discount on the DVD!
Gary Sinise and an Award-winning Film
Actor and musician Gary Sinise felt so strongly about this film upon seeing it that he became an Executive Producer. Here are his thoughts: "Brothers at War celebrates the courage and integrity of the American Soldier and the American military family. It is also a film about a man's love and respect for his two brothers and his dedication to telling their story. A great film that I am proud to be a part of." This film "gets it." It is a rare look at the bonds and service of our soldiers on the frontlines, and the profound effect their service has on the loved ones they leave behind.
An Opportunity to Support Soldiers' Angels
The Brothers at War team feels so passionate about supporting organizations that support our nation's military families that they have already raised over $100,000. Now we are partnering with them to offer you an opportunity to see a great film and directly support a cause you believe in, Soldier's Angels. If you purchase the movie on the Brothers at War web site (www.brothersatwarmovie.com) and input the promotional code "ANGELS", you will receive a 10% discount off your purchase, while also supporting Soldier's Angels (with 10% of the proceeds going to support us). Brothers at War DVD, soundtrack CD, and combination packages are available.
A Note from the Film's Director-Producer
For more information, please read the following from the film's director and producer (and brother of three active Armed Forces personnel), Jake Rademacher. You can also find more information on the web site. www.brothersatwarmovie.com.
Friends,
Thank you for going the extra mile in your support of Soldier's Angels and Brothers at War. With another surge of troops into Afghanistan, American military families are being called upon to step up to the plate once again. We need your support to help spread the word about Brothers at War. It is vital that the story of our military families; their service, sacrifices, and achievements be broadcast across the world.
In making this film, I was able to cross the chasm between my brothers and myself, and my family reunited. Seeing the reuniting impact that Brothers at War has had on other families facing the crucible of war has been amazing and deeply gratifying.
I deeply appreciate your support, your validation and your willingness to help us spread the word. It has been the greatest honor to put a frame around the reality of our service members on the edge of the battlefield and the families who support them at home. God Bless you all. Thank you for your vital support.
