There had been many times that Mark Marino hugged his oldest son goodbye and feared he might never see him again. After all, Dominic was an Air Force vet who’d been deployed overseas more than a few times. But this wasn’t one of those moments. 30-year-old Dominic was just heading home after a short visit with his dad, both sure they would see each other again soon. Now that hug is a scene Mark will play on a loop in his mind for the rest of his life.
