U.S. Marine Staff Sgt. Kendall Damon Waters-Bey died needlessly in a helicopter crash in Kuwait Thursday, March 20, 2003.
As he held a picture of his son, Waters-Bey's father, Michael, (pictured above, left), said: "I want President Bush to get a good look at this, really good look here. This is the only son I had, only son."
He then walked away in tears, with his family behind him. Kenneth, the Marine's only son, was with the family, (pictured above, right).
Michelle Waters, the oldest of the dead Marine's four sisters, criticized the U.S. government for starting the hostilities.
"It's all for nothing, that war could have been prevented," she said last night in the living room of the family home, tears running down her cheeks. "Now, we're out of a brother. [President] Bush is not out of a brother. We are."
At a Washington news conference, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld spoke of the Marines who had died: "The world will be a safer place because of their dedicated service," he said.
