USMC Scout Sniper Association Memorial Wall

This page honors all our Brothers who have passed before us, but we dedicate it particularly to those Scout Snipers who gave their lives in the service of our great nation. It is important to remember that they are not truly gone unless forgotten. This page reminds us to honor them all and to speak their names.

In honoring our Brothers, we also strive to honor our Gold Star families. They carry a particular burden that we will never fully understand. We owe them a debt of gratitude, and we pledge to them our eternal support.

We are grateful for the lives of these men and the families who suffer in their absence. When lives are given so we can enjoy ours, it becomes our sacred duty to honor them by being the best humans possible, as husbands, fathers, sons, and brothers. Honor these men by living an exemplary life! The life you lead in remembrance of them shows your gratitude for their sacrifice.

Let not their passing be in vain.
