And when the applause waned, it was replaced by song.
Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA," playing in the background during the salute, took root in their voices.

The Marine lance corporal was killed in combat in Iraq on Sept. 10. He was 20 years old.
For those who don't live here, Saturday's memorial illustrated something the locals consider part of the community's fabric -- this town cares about those who serve this country.
