Gunner Cargile is the true nature of what a MARINE is, and what every MARINE should want to be, he inspried me, and countless others. It was a honor serving with him and this nation and the MARINE CORPS need more men like him. Semper Fi..

Cannon Cargile was my “heavy” at Parris Island for Platoon 2084. I ran into him again when I was stationed at Parris Island and he was ending his tour there. He’s one of the people in my life that I will always look up to. I was reading when Cannon was on the Discovery Channel, but my father called from the other end of the state and told me to turn on the TV because Agile, leathile, Mobile, Cargile was being interview. My dad remembered Cannon from my bootcamp graduation because they are both paratroopers. Will Smith and Terry Walker told me what happened. I was, and still am, working at U.S. Embassy Baghdad. Glad to hear you are getting better and great picture with my big boss.

Semper Fi!

Hi My name is Jody Jarrett. Cannon Cargile was my Senior drill instructor at Parris Island SC I was watching the histroy channel last night and saw cwo4 cargile on that show. I woke my wife up yelling “HEY HEY HEY” that was my Senior drill instructor. She wasn’t quiet excited as I was being we were not married when I was in the Marines. So at midnight last I when down to the computer and google cwo4 cargile and that’s when I got the news of the rpg attack. I didn’t sleep a bit last night thinking of all cwo4 Cargile has meant to me. I only got to spend 13 weeks with him, but he change my life forever. I did run in to him a few times when I was in the fleet. I would have loved to served under him. Thanks for your sacrifice and service to your country. Your what every kid dreams of being!!!!!!!!

please keep me updated, and if you every have time call me I would love to hear from you

thanks

Catfish ~ Thanks for the chuckle. I had no idea that the initials C.C. held a different meaning to Cannon’s fellow Marines!

I knew the man!! Severed with him back in the mid-90’s…Those of us who knew and loved him best called him Cupcake! Cupcake? Yeah, that’s right. More of an oxy-moron type thing, like calling a bald guy curly…the man eats a box of nails for breakfast and washes it down with a cup of black joe. But ask him to go a mile with ya, and he’ll go three. Ask him for his shirt, and and it’s yours. One of the best Marines I ever knew!!

I miss ya, buddy! Let’s get together and trim the herd back a bit…you know what I mean! God Bless you and yours and hope to see you again real soon.

On this day to give thanks, I send thanks to Cannon and Tami. And special kudos to Tami. As someone who’s been there, I understand with how difficult it is to not only care for your spouse but also make sure the hospital staff are caring for him properly as well. My hat is off to you. You’re an inspiration to us all.
Wishing you both a warm and happy day.

Thanks to you both for all that you have done for me and our beautiful country!

Thank you Cannon for your service to our country and for your selfless acts during a crisis. As the wife of a fellow Marine, it is so comforting to know how Marines truly take care of their own, regardless of the cost to themselves. You make your country proud & have sacrificed so much for our freedom. To Tami, you are an inspiration. Thank you to you and the rest of your family for all the sacrifices you have made as well and the strength you show every day being the wife of a marine.

Semper Fi and Happy Thanksgiving!

I thank God for the Marines and this wonderful couple. When we get down about some people are these days we can reflect upon what strangers are will to do for us, though with the above testimonies I feel that that CWO4 Cargile, his brave wife, Tami, and his friends are no longer strangers to me. I would hug each one, if I could. I give thanks for you now and on Thanksgiving. Thank you!
