By Tim McLaughlin LAWRENCE, Mass. (Reuters) - U.S. Marine Sergeant Johanny Rosario returned to her hometown in Massachusetts in a casket on Saturday, one of the last American service members killed in Afghanistan during a war set in motion exactly two decades ago by the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. Several hundred people gathered near the Farrah Funeral Home in Lawrence, Mass., where Rosario s remains arrived in a black hearse with a police motorcycle escort. Marines in dress uniform carried the casket into the funeral home, as veterans in the crowd, some of whom had not worn a uniform in years, snapped to attention. We came out because she is a hero to us, said Mary Beth Chosse, who waited for several hours with her 12-year-old son, Gavin. Chosse s older son is a Marine on active duty. Sergeant Rosario s sacrifice and bravery should always be remembered. Rosario, 25, was among 13 U.S. service members killed in an Aug. 26 suicide bombing outside the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Afg
