# 4- After Marine's death, girlfriend finds their love story recorded on Facebook

Recently I read this article on how Facebook is a great way to keep in touch with love ones who live far away from you. I read many articles but the one that particularly stood out to me was how a girl friend and boyfriend kept in touch while he was in Afghanistan. They first met in High School but they started dating after graduation. By that time Will had already joined the marines. Long story short Will ended up dying while in Afghanistan. They wanted to get engaged but they wanted to wait until he was back home but he never made it back home. Just 3 days before he died he was on the phone with his good friend and told him where and how he was going to propose when he got back home. If Facebook was never made they would've not been able to talk as much as they did or even leave cute little messages on each others walls. This just proves that although Facebook may be bad at times but in the long run it will always end up being good. Facebook is meant for reconnecting with friends. Now Kimmy can relive there relationship whenever she wants.

  1. #2 Wow that is such a sad story. I do agree though that there are pros to having Facebook. I feel as though a con to Facebook would be when people use it irresponsibly. Kimmy and Will's situation does show a great example on how if Facebook is used the right way there will be a positive outcome.
