Fallen Marine escorted to Funeral Home

Today Lcpl Jared Schmitz was brought back home. He was one of the brave marines who was killed by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan. Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz, 20, of St. Charles is among 13 service members who have been awarded the Purple Heart. The 13 troops were killed Aug. 26 as they were helping to screen Afghans and others at the Abbey Gate of the Kabul airport. At least 169 Afghans were also killed in the bombing, as they struggled to get into the airport and on flights out of the country.

I have been doing tribute videos for years around the Missouri area. I have always said that our community shows out for our first responders and military members. Today is something I have never seen before. The amount of people on the highway and on the overpasses is something you can not capture on video. With so many emotions today I think everyone left with pride in our country. St.Louis this is why I love it here. This place will forever be my home. Thank you for showing up today and sending this hero home. RIP Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz.
