Semper Fi, First Sergeant White
February 10, 2012
Hank White served Corps and country for many years. Dedication, sacrifice and hardship were his primary rewards - those are all a Marine needs to feel he has done his duty.
Hank will be missed, and losing his wit and humor will leave this world a little sadder place.
Semper Fidelis, Marine.
