The sacrifice of Marine Lance Cpl. Cedric E. Bruns, who died in a 2003 crash in Kuwait, will be honored Thursday.
The ceremony, to be held on the 16th anniversary of Bruns’ death, will be at the Clark County War Memorial at Vancouver Barracks.
Bruns died when his Humvee collided with another vehicle May 9, 2003. He was the first hometown soldier to die following the start of the Iraq War.
The Community Military Appreciation Committee is asking the Patriot Guard Riders and community members to stand in remembrance during Thursday’s ceremony.
