Memorial Service

Please take a few minutes to watch this video. Sergeant Leon Padelskas (Padell) of HQ/2/24 passed away on September 7, 2007. It was his wish that his ashes be spread on Iwo Jima, and after a great deal of effort from his son Jeff Padell, Harlan Glenn, and the Marine Corps, that wish was granted.

"An ol' Marine Gets The Best Seat In The House."
