Today was a tough one! We said goodbye to one of our Future Marines who was taken too soon! Had a bright future ahead of him and had his sights set on becoming a Marine!
When your a figure of inspiration, hope, and new beginnings as Marine Corps Recruiters on Recruiting Duty are to civilians in society, it is hard to lose someone when you aren’t supposed to. The past few days has been new territory to navigate through for my Marines and myself!
My team and I had the honor of being a part of his funeral detail as pallbearers and we also presented the Flag to his parents! He was sent off the right way, with honor and dignity!
Gone but Never Forgotten!
