"Town mourns Marine with a big heart; Yarmouth resident, 21, is killed in Afghanistan" by Nandini Jayakrishna, Globe Correspondent | July 25, 2009
They called Nicholas G. Xiarhos “the mayor of DY’’ - a playful nod to his outgoing personality and popularity at Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School.
“Everyone knew him. He couldn’t walk by without saying hello to someone or without giving them a hug or a handshake or a high-five,’’ Rebecca M. Barbo, one of Xiarhos’s closest friends, said yesterday. “Everyone wanted a piece of Nick. And he gave them that . . . a piece of his heart wherever he went.’’
Xiarhos, a 21-year-old Marine corporal from Yarmouth, was killed Thursday in a roadside bombing in the Garmsir District in Afghanistan, according to his family.

His father, Yarmouth police Lieutenant Steven Xiarhos, said the family is devastated. “I wish it was a mistake,’’ he said by phone yesterday.
At 6 feet tall, Nick Xiarhos was muscular and strong, but gentle at heart. After returning from service in Iraq in October, he changed battalions so he could be deployed to Afghanistan two months ago, his family said....

When she spoke to him two weeks ago, instead of complaining about the heat or the stress of combat in Afghanistan, he told her he was living his dream, the mother said. Earlier this week, she bought Frisbees, a football, squirt guns, and other “fun stuff’’ for her son and was planning to print family pictures to send to him.
Oh, man, I can't take it.
She said she was trying not to break down....
Ah, I failed!!!

As of yesterday morning, 677 US military personnel have died and 3,303 have been wounded in action in and around Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom, according to the Department of Defense website, www.defenselink.mil/news/casualty.pdf.
Thanks for promoting the lies, you complicit and enabling s***s!!!!!!
Xiarhos’s parents and younger siblings, a brother and twin sisters, were preparing yesterday to fly to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, where they are scheduled to collect his body today.

They were expecting him home at Christmas.
Well, he's coming home anyway.
After finishing his service in Afghanistan, he had planned to go to college and become a police officer like his father, they said.
Yeah, THANKS for robbing us of another fine citizen, you war-criminal liars!!!!
Paul Funk, Xiarhos’s high school football and baseball coach for four years, remembered him as a motivated, selfless player and person. “I know he was a good Marine because he talked about [serving his country] from the day I met him,’’ Funk said. “I know he was doing something that he really believed in.’’
