Marine Cpl. Anthony Will, of Marysville, agreed. He told the crowd how, as a 23-year-old college student at Ohio University in Athens back in 2004, he wondered what would be next for him after graduation.
He decided to enlist.

“It was you, gentlemen. My freedom was won and secured and protected by your courage, your bravery and your honor. The cost of my freedom was paid in your blood, your sweat and your sacrifice,” he said. “You, gentlemen, not only answered the nation’s call in a time of need. You set the example.”
