Before back-to-back tragedies in Iraq killed 14 Marines from the Brook Park-based 3rd Battalion, 25th Marines, members of the unit bought a mutt from Iraqi villagers for 25-cents and three jelly beans.
They named the dog Beans and she became their mascot.
Before his death, Corporal Jeffrey Boskovitch sent home a photo of him with Beans and wrote of his hopes to bring the dog home.
After weeks of fundraising and tearing red tape, Beans is headed to Ohio, where Boskovitch's mom plans to share her with the battalion.
Her son was killed along with five other Marine snipers from his unit on August 1, just days before his tour of duty was to end
