Local Marine remembered, honored

Posted by Plato in Memorials, News on May 26, 2009

From the Lake County News-Herald:
“Local Marine remembered, honored”

Marty Zak of Willowick, who served in Beirut in 1981, never met Daugherty but still fought back tears while leaning up against the memorial stone, which reads, “They came in peace.”
“I didn’t know him, but he was a Marine and that is all that counts,” he said. “This means a lot because people in Beirut never really got recognized.

The Leathernecks MC, Gold Star Chapter was honored to have the opportunity to support the Corporal Dougherty Memorial Park in Eastlake, Ohio. As Marines, Corpsman & veterans, we hold these memorials as a solemn vow of “None Forgotten, None Left Behind”.

Semper Fi Corporal Dougherty!
