Marine Lance Cpl. Patrick R. Adle, 21, of Baltimore; assigned to the 6th Engineer Support Battalion, 4th Force Service Support Group, Marine Corps Reserve, Folsom, Pa.; killed June 29 when a roadside bomb exploded next to his Humvee as he and four other Marines were traveling southeast of Baghdad.
HE ALWAYS HAD A SMILE ON HIS FACE
Lance Cpl. Patrick Adle, 21, of Bel Air, was one of five Marines traveling to Baghdad in a Humvee on Tuesday when the roadside bomb blew up, said Joshua Tackett, Adle’s cousin.
When Adle enlisted three years ago, he joined others in his family who were Marines.
“I think he wanted the pride of being called a Marine,” said Tackett, who also is a Marine reservist. “It’s a feeling that can’t be taken away.”
“The guy always had a smile on his face,” he said. “You can’t put in words how great a person he was.”
“We’re going to miss everything about him,” Tackett said. “He died as a hero. The whole family is proud of him.”
