As the nation pauses this Memorial Day to remember fallen service members, a native of Osseo, Wisconsin, has special responsibilities honoring fallen comrades in the nation’s capital with the U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard.
“We offer honors for high-ranking officials and ceremonies, such as sporting events.”
“I’m in the color guard,” said Seaman Marina Hall, who joined the Navy one year ago. “We offer honors for high-ranking officials and ceremonies, such as sporting events.”
Growing up in Osseo, Hall attended Osseo Fairchild High School and graduated in 2018. Today, Hall uses skills and values similar to those learned in Osseo.
“I learned in Osseo the importance of tenacity,” said Hall. “We have some severe weather in Wisconsin where I grew up, and now we have to march in the snow at Arlington National Cemetery. I’ve been told I have a lot of drive and I believe that comes from my time in Wisconsin.”
These lessons continue to help Hall while serving in the military.
