Inspirational Quotes about Cpl. Donahue
His dad said, "He (Max) hated bullies. If you were a little kid you wanted to be around Max. If you were with Max you wouldn't get picked on."
And, his mom stated, "He loved working with the dogs." So, when Max turned down a safer assignment to go to Iraq, he told his mom, "That's what I'm trained to do. They need me over there and my buddies are over there." His mom then realized, "he was a Marine man and not my boy."
