Today's #NeverForgottenFriday Commemoration
There were no U.S. troops killed in Global War on Terror (GWOT) combat zones this past week. But, sadly, there was 1 Marine who died during fitness training in Twentynine Palms, California. The fallen Marine's next of kin have been informed of the death, but we have not been able to find any articles or pictures identifying the Marine. We honor and thank this Marine for volunteering to defend our freedoms.
