Max Idom served
with the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, Mike Company. He was Killed In

ESSEX

EMPTY PLACE
MAX
WAS A FUN-LOVING KID THAT NEVER REALLY HAD A CHANCE TO REACH HIS POTENTIAL.
HIS DECISION TO JOIN THE CORPS WAS MORE OF AN ESCAPE FOR HIM AND A
CHANCE TO REALLY BELONG. THE ABSENCE OF HIS QUICK WIT AND SENSE OF
HUMOR LEFT THE WORLD OF THOSE WHO KNEW HIM WITH A VOID WHERE ONLY
MEMORIES RESIDE. ~KEN SESSIONS, FRIEND
