🕊️ Remembering Jordan Haerter

Jordan Haerter grew up in the small village of Sag Harbor, NY, and graduated from Pierson High School in 2006. He went to Parris Island for the 12-week boot camp as a recruit in September 2006 and became a proud United States Marine on December 1st, 2006. He was assigned in fleet with 1st Battalion, 9th Marines, and deployed to Ramadi, Iraq, in March of 2008. LCpl Jordan C. Haerter, alongside Cpl. Jonathan T. Yale were guarding the checkpoint and Nasser Joint Security Station. They stopped an explosive-laden suicide tank truck from entering the compound with precision firing, the explosion taking their lives but saving the lives of 33 Marines, Iraqi policemen, and countless Iraqi civilians.

🕯️ The Ultimate Sacrifice

• Tragic Loss: Jordan was killed in action on 22 April 2008, just 19 years old.
• Historical Significance: He was Sag Harbor’s first battlefield loss since World War II.
• Honors: The 2 Marines posthumously earned the Navy Cross for Extraordinary Heroism, our Nation's second-highest award for valor in combat.
