Finding a personal role model as a Plebe gave him lifelong inspiration. He did well in physical events as a Cadet, tabbing the IOCT (Indoor Obstacle Course Test) and earning the APFB (Army Physical Fitness Badge). His interest in military history, coupled with the TV mini-series “North and South,” sparked his curiosity about West Point, which only grew after his grandma gave him a book about the Academy and told him a great uncle had played football there. The Families of our Fallen, our Fallen 2/1 Marines, and our Marine Corps League-South Coast Detachment (501 Non-Profit-EIN:33-0450163) sincerely appreciate your support and outreach.Coley Tyler grew up in Macon, Georgia, and Franklin, North Carolina, with a love for being outdoors and reading history. Please act now and make this vision a reality Time is of the essence, as we would like to have this tribute in place by November 10th, the Marine Corps’ Birthday.
To this end, your generous donations of any size, both large and small, are most welcome. The total cost to have these two pieces mounted and put in place is an achievable goal of $4,900. It awaits the fabrication and installation of a Bronze Plaque commemorating our 29 Fallen and Bronze Shield of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines. Before any more time elapses it is very important to the Families of our Fallen, their Buddies they fought alongside with in Combat, and their fellow Active Duty Marines at Camp Horno-Camp Pendleton that a permanent Tribute be erected at the 1st Marine Regiment’s Memorial Park to honor the “Ultimate Sacrifice” they made.Īn 18 Foot, beautifully appointed brick wall has just been donated and constructed at the Memorial Park. Sadly, during the Iraq (Operation Iraqi Freedom) and Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom) Wars our 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines (2/1) lost 29 Marines who were killed in action while defending the freedoms we hold so dear. Those words are “No Marine Ever Left Behind” and though “Fallen Never Forgotten.” Our United States Marines, ever since the birth of the Marine Corps in 1775, has a “Credo” which has been forever emblazoned in each one of our souls.
