Brothers Forever

The President of the United States, who had flown to Arlington National Cemetery four weeks after Navy SEALs had killed Osama bin Laden, stood over the graves of two best friends. Travis Manion, a fallen US Marine, lay at his feet; Brendan Looney, a fallen US Navy SEAL, was buried next to him. They’d died three years apart—one on a battlefield in Iraq and one on a battlefield in Afghanistan—but were now lying side by side as brothers forever.
