Their Story
Jake William Suter was a young Marine serving his country at the time of his untimely death. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, Suter joined the United States Marine Corps, dedicating himself to the service of his nation. As a Private First Class, he was part of the 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marines, a unit based out of Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, which was deployed to Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.
Operation Enduring Freedom, which began in October 2001, sought to dismantle terrorist organizations and stabilize the region. Suter's unit was embedded within the Regional Combat Team-7, 1st Marine Expeditionary Force Forward, a significant component in these efforts.
