Memorial service at Kaneohe Bay honors 10 'Island Warriors'
The Second Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment held a memorial service this morning at Marine Corps Base Hawaii to honor nine Marines and one sailor who sacrificed their lives while supporting Operation Enduring Freedom during their deployment this year.
Those honored were:
Sgt. Jay M. Hoskins
Approximately 1,000 Marines and sailors with the "Island Warriors" departed for a seven-month deployment last May to Farah province in Afghanistan. They played a role in the continuing stabilization, security and counter-terror efforts still under way. The battalion returned earlier this month and in late October.
