You were my Senior Drill Instructor. I feared you and respected you. I would have followed you to hell! But I went first, as you said I would, and you followed later. |

I served with Mark Avery from 1955 through 1957 at Camp LeJeune, N.C. in the 2nd Amphibious Tractor Battalion.
He is remembered.

Mark was a good friend and neighbor. I served with him not only at Camp LeJeune, but also in Hawaii. Still think of him and his family. |

Mark was my brother-in-law. His name Mark is fitting. He marked a spot in your heart that never leaves. I admire his courage to serve our country, dedication to the Marine Corps and the love he had for his family. We cannot replace those who give their lives in conflicts, only march forward with hope that the world will become a better place for the price paid. God has blessed the United States. Our strength lies in his continued guidance. Our knees should bend, our heads bow and our words echo appreciation for all service personel. Semper Fi
