Honoring US Marine Joseph L Meade

On this R.E.D. Friday at HEW Fitness, we honor PFC Joseph L. Meade, a 19-year-old Marine from Kingsport, TN, who gave his life on January 25, 1969, during Operation Bold Mariner in Vietnam, just one month into his deployment. Amid chaos and mines, Joe repeatedly risked his life rescuing wounded comrades and was killed while attempting one final rescue.

His bravery saved many lives and earned him a posthumous Silver Star. Today, we move in his honor-remembering his courage, sacrifice, and strength.
