assigned to 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force, Camp Pendleton, Calif.; killed Dec. 12 by enemy action in Anbar province, Iraq.

To earn a spot with the Marines, Joshua W. Dickinson gave up cigarettes and cut back on beer. When he got off work, he strapped on a weighted vest and went for a 5-mile run. Even his leisure time had a military focus: His favorite video game was “Medal of Honor.”

To find a safe journey through grief to growth does not mean one should forget the past. It means that on the journey we will need safe pathways so that remembrance, which may be painful, is possible.
