Staff Sergeant Gerry Blake

Inglewood, CA

I joined the Marines in November 1978 and began a quest of service to this great Nation, as I still do to this day as an employee of the Department of Veterans Affairs. My focus is on serving those who served and to never forget the price they have paid as members of that elite club known as the band of brothers. My tours of duty have taken me to many far off lands meeting popes, kings and commoners, and no matter where I've been there is no place like this great and grand place I call home, the United States of America.
