Eric L. Ward

We never met Eric, but knew his Father and Step- Mother well. From all accounts he was a man beyond his years on this earth. We know he is missed dearly by his parents and friends and fellow Marines.


We honor you Eric for the ultimate sacrifice you gave to our country on this Memorial Day 2018. Your spirit lives forever and you are not forgotten.

Rest in Peace, brave Marine.


John & Ruth Posey

There is not a day his family and I don't think of him and miss him. He is a beautiful son and a hero.
Thank you all for your words.
His proud father

I recently donated some money to a local VFW in VA and they gave me a rubber bracelet with Eric's info. I never knew him but I carry him with me daily. Now I know his story and tell those who ask me about the bracelet something about this young man. RIP Eric, you are not forgotten.
