Cpl. Brandon Hardy was proud to serve and honored to die for his country.  Having served in both the Air Force and the Marines, Brandon was dedicated to the principles that made and keeps our country free.

After receiving the news of his death, his family established a scholarship in his memory.  The young men and women who will be entering the military will be given a few standard supplies on their first day of boot camp and a debit card to get the required haircut –the cost of these items will be garnished from their first pay.  Over their years of service there will be many things required but not issued by their military branch – this scholarship will help provide funds for those non-issued items.  We know Brandon is honored to help a fellow member of the armed forces ensure the principles our country was founded on and the freedom we enjoy is preserved for generations.
