Wreath Tributes Span U.S., Canada

A wreath-laying ceremony at Jacksonville’s Freedom Fountain honored Lance Cpl. Devin Hernandez, a 25-year-old Camp Lejeune Marine who died after being injured during a fast-rope training exercise at Camp Schwab in Okinawa. Hernandez, a Maryland native and combat engineer with the 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, died at a U.S. naval hospital in Okinawa. The circumstances of the incident remain under investigation, and the fountain was placed in mourning for three days in his memory.
