On Saturday, September 6th, 2014, a group of future Marines helped clean up Fort Armistead Park in Baltimore. The service project was organized by Marine Staff Sergeant Joshua Gardner, a recruiter based in Glen Burnie, Maryland. Joshua wanted his future Marines to know about Eric and they dedicated the service project in his honor. Staff Sergeant Gardner invited Eric’s dad to attend and say a few words which he did. Eric’ step-sister Melissa also spent the day at the park helping clean up.
