As American honored its veterans on Friday, there was a somber ceremony for an Elmwood Park Marine who made the ultimate sacrifice.
The body of Lance Cpl. Nick Daniels, 25, came home to O'Hare International Airport.
Daniels, a graduate of Saint Park High School in Chicago, was killed Nov. 5 while on duty in Afghanistan after serving just two months.
Daniels is survived by his parents, two brothers, a sister and a girlfriend he told his mother he planned to marry.
Funeral arrangements are pending.
