The Community Military Appreciation Committee is hosting a memorial for U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Jason D. Peto, who died from injuries resulting from an explosion in Sangin, Afghanistan. He was transported to the Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland where he died on Dec. 7, 2010.
Peto earned various accolades, including two Purple Heart awards, a combat action ribbon, a service deployment ribbon, and other additional medals.
