re: I was asked to make a memorial plaque for one of the Marines recently killed in Kabul.

This plaque was presented to SSgt Hoover’s mom during his battle ceremony. She loved it, as much as a mother could love something like this, and I couldn’t have been more honored to make something like this for a fellow Marine.

Beautiful memento his mom will cherish till the end of her days.

Of that I am certain.

Read this late last night and was too emotional to post. My time in the Corps was over 50 years ago, guess I'm getting soft in my old age. It hurts deeply when I see one of our Nation's Best, with so much promise for the future, taken from us far too soon.

It may seem like a small token of your respect for our fallen warrior but a great thing you've done here. Thank you.

RIP SSgt Hoover.
