Pvc. Brandon Clinton Smith was a graduate of Fayetteville High School. Throughout his childhood, he dreamed of becoming a Marine and this past September, he fulfilled that dream by enlisting. He was so proud of the decision he made that he framed his Marine Corps acceptance letter and hung it in his bedroom. "He made a great Marine. We could see he had changed when he came back from training. He had found himself," said an attendee at Pvc. Smith's funeral, where he was buried with full military honors in Fayetteville on Friday, March 26th.
My thoughts and prayers are with his father, Gordon; his mother, Deborah Bolin his sister, Desirae; and his family and loved ones.
