CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. — Lance Cpl. Mason Vanderwork loved going to the beach and cruising in his Mustang convertible. He and his wife, Taylor, married the day after she graduated high school and hoped to start a family.
The 21-year-old loved being a Marine and had a tattoo emblazoned on his chest, she said, that read: "Sacrifice. Without fear there is no courage."
He was among the Marines killed in a desert training accident this week — most of them young men not yet weathered by life's hardships.
