Cpl. Kevin J. Reinhard

Cpl. Kevin J. Reinhard, 25, of Colonia, N.J., died January 19, 2012, while supporting combat operations in Helmand province, Afghanistan. They were assigned to Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 363, Marine Aircraft Group 24, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force, Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. Reinhard had enlisted in the Marines in the spring of 2008 and was serving his second tour of duty overseas. He was part of the Lucky Red Lions helicopter squadron HMH-363. Kevin only had a few short weeks left to his deployment when his helicopter crashed in Afghanistan, resulting in his death. It was his second deployment. For his family and his friends, he was already a hero… before he ever put on a uniform for his country. The uniform only announced to the rest of the world what a wonderful man, what a wonderful soul he was – that he was a hero for all of us.
