TAPS:
 On January 10th, 2010 at 3:30 AM, Lance Cpl Jacob A. Meinert was killed in action in Afghanistan. Jacob was 20 years old and couldn't wait to join the Marines. He signed up right out of High School and went in right after his birthday. He wore the Marine haircut 2 years before he went to boot camp. Jacob finished a 9 month tour of duty in Iraq and then trained again for Afghanistan. Jacob was the grandson of Robert Warzala, a VDADT member. Let's keep Robert and his family in our prayers.
