Volunteers bring bountiful gifts to Marine family
OCEANSIDE - Minutes before 30 volunteers with the North County Warriors Support Group walked through his door with gifts galore for him and his family, David Lind, a career military man, was saying everything that a modest and humble senior enlisted Marine would say.
"This shouldn't be happening to us, they should be doing this for another, more deserving family," said Lind, who lost his lower legs to a roadside bomb in Iraq last summer.

Marines Honored For Saving Life
September 22, 2005
Source: San Diego Union Tribune
OCEANSIDE – The City Council last night honored two Marines it credited with saving the life of a city commissioner.
Housing Commissioner J.J. Sorenson called the Marines her "guardian angels."
Only one of the Marines, Cpl. Matthew Castaneda, could be present for the ceremonies. The second, Cpl. Ricardo Montalvo Jr., has been assigned to duty in Texas.
Mayor Jim Wood said that when Sorenson's car caught fire June 18, the Marines pulled her out moments before the driver's seat erupted into flames, and they extracted her wheelchair and walker.
Marines, Castaneda said, "do not leave anyone behind," and that means they not only don't leave their fellow Marines, but "we do not leave the American people behind," either.
