Today my walk was dedicated in honor of:
Marine Pfc. Nathan B. Clemons, Age 20 of Winchester, TN.
KIA June 14, 2005 during Operation Iraqi Freedom
He was assigned to 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force, Camp Lejeune, N.C.
Died from wounds sustained when an improvised explosive device detonated near his vehicle while conducting combat operations against enemy forces near Ar Rutbah, Iraq.
Nathan B. Clemons was active in his church – he was a drummer in the youth praise band and the guy who dropped the church’s new digital camera in a bucket of paint. “Life to him was to be celebrated and have a good time,” said Pastor Mike Jackson.
We had a great walk this morning. The weather was great. I want to thank everyone who honked and waved in helping me honor this hero.
He will not be forgotten !
