The Friends of the 1st CEB and the City of Cerritos invite you to honor the service and sacrifice of Cpl. Daane DeBoer of the 1st Combat Engineer Battalion, USMC who was the latest of three Marines from the 1st CEB to have given their lives for Freedom and Democracy.
On June 18th in Helmand Province, Afghanistan while on a dismounted patrol he was killed by an IED.
Cpl. DeBoer was 22 years old and is survived by his parents.H is final earthly resting place will be in Lundinton, Michigan.
By all accounts he was an outstanding young man and would make any of us proud to have him in our family.
This July 4th while we celebrate our nations independence we will honor not only Cpl. DeBoer but also Sgt. Heede and LCpl. Yazzie by having their "Honor the Fallen" posters with their pictures displayed at the Vertans Memorial and invite you to stop by and pay your respects as "Freedom Isn't Free".
As part of the Let Freedom Ring Celebration we invite you to meet members of the 1st CEB who will have a variety of displays for you to review and participate in including Vehicles, robots and other military items. Please welcome them to Cerritos and express you appreciation and support. Please also drop by the Friends of the 1st CEB Booth for further information on the Friends of the 1st CEB or by calling Chuck Sutter at 562.860.8174
