SFC Marcus Foster
It is my regret to be making this entry. Yesterday my Brother and Good Friend lost his fight with Cancer.
Marcus was one of the most professional and personable guys I have ever known.
Most guys know that he had been having his bout with Cancer, but most people had thought he had beaten it.
Marcus leaves behind his Wife Keri. He was 33.
A 1/5 and the rest of 5th Group will miss him.
