Jason Smith: “Tonight southeast Missouri will welcome back Staff Sergeant Eric…”

On the recordDecember 12, 2013

Tonight southeast Missouri will welcome back Staff Sergeant Eric Summers for the last time. Sergeant Summers was tragically killed on November 13 while serving his country at Camp Pendleton in California. Summers served 13 years with the United States Marines and is a war hero. He served five tours of duty in the Middle East and was highly decorated, earning the Navy Commendation Medal, the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, and the Good Conduct Medal. Without men like Sergeant Summers willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms, our country could not survive. I would ask my colleagues and those watching to keep Sergeant Summers, his family, and all of our brave men and women in uniform in your thoughts and prayers. ____________________
