Today our walk was dedicated in honor of:
Army CPL Toni Elizabeth Corbin, Age 27 of Peoria, IL.
Died Oct. 4, 2015
Army Corporal Toni Corbin served in the United States Army from July 3, 2008, to February 27, 2009. She received the National Defense Service Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, and the Army Service Ribbon. She currently was serving in the United States Army Reserve.
Toni was an amazing and devoted wife and mother, and she loved her family more than anything. She loved life to the fullest and was always up for an adventure. Toni was ever determined if she put her mind to it there was no stopping her. She was a force of her own. Toni had one of the most infectious smiles you could not help but just instantly be happy when you saw it.
With her larger than life presence, she could turn anyone’s mood right around and just make you excited even if you didn’t know why. She was always there if you needed her, quick to help anyone even a stranger. She had so much to give. So much life, love, and energy. She loved the outdoors, being active up for trying anything. Simply put, she was an amazing spirit with so much life and love to offer her loved ones and the world.
We had a great 8.07 Mile walk today. We walked by the National Guard Armory and then walked to Stone Memorial Highschool where we got to lead the Stone Memorial Panthers football team out onto the field. It was amazing. 40 of the football players where carrying flags also. I was not able to get a photo since I was part of it but as soon as I see any of the photo’s I will share with her story. I want to thank everyone who honked, waved, and saluted in helping me honor this hero. We had 152 honks today. It was amazing. Thank You.
Army CPL Toni Elizabeth Corbin will not be forgotten !
Thank You For Your Service Toni. Gone But Not Forgotten. R.I.P. 🇺🇸🦅🕊😇
