REMEMBERING A SEATTLE WARRIOR

Seattle natives Robin and Anna Stacey (center), the mother and sister of fallen Marine Sgt. William Stacey, prepare to lay a wreath in his honor during a ceremony at the Seattle Center's International Fountain as part of Marine Week Seattle, Aug. 1, 2014. Stacey, a Seattleite who attended Roosevelt High School, was killed in action, Jan. 31, 2012, by an improvised explosive device explosion while leading his squad on a mission in Now Zad, Helmand Province, Afghanistan. In a letter he left with his parents, to be opened in case of his death, he wrote: “My death did not change the world; it may be tough for you to justify its meaning at all. But there is a greater meaning to it. Perhaps I did not change the world. Perhaps there is still injustice in the world. But there will be a child who will live because men left the security they enjoyed in their home country to come to his. And this child will learn in the new schools that have been built. He will walk his streets not worried about whether or not his leader’s henchmen are going to come and kidnap him. He will grow into a fine man who will pursue every opportunity his heart could desire. He will have the gift of freedom, which I have enjoyed for so long. If my life buys the safety of a child who will one day change the world, then I know it was all worth it.” (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Reece Lodder/Released)
