USMC Scout Sniper Association Memorial Wall
This page is dedicated to our Scout Sniper brothers who lost their lives in service of our great nation. It is important to remember that they are not truly gone unless they are forgotten. Therefore, this page reminds us to honor them and to speak their names.
Our Gold Star families should be proud of their loved one's service to our country. It is important to remember that, while they may have died for their God, Country, or Corps, they most certainly died fighting for their brothers who fought beside them.
We are grateful for the lives of these men. We are grateful for their families who suffer in their absence. When a life is given so we can enjoy ours, it becomes our sacred duty to honor them by being the best humans possible; 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 it not be in vain!
