Gold Star dad remembers Marine Corps Cpl. Hunter Lopez, killed in Kabul blast, as devoted to helping others
Fox News
Marine Corps Cpl. Hunter Lopez was among the 13 U.S. service members killed when a bomb exploded at the gate of Kabul's airport last week as American forces on the ground desperately tried to evacuate Americans and Afghan allies amid a Taliban takeover of the country.
"Hunter always wanted to become a Marine for quite a while before he actually enlisted," Herman Lopez told Fox News. "Hunter has several family members that are in the military." Lopez enlisted in the Marines three months after his graduation from La Quinta High School in 2017. He joined the Marine Corps Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team, an elite part of the Corps Security Forces Regiment that is on standby to respond to threats to the Navy and the Marine Corps, and other U.S. government interests.More Related News
