New Jersey - United States Marine Lance Corporal Jeremy Kane graduated from Cherry Hill High School-East in 2006 and was pursuing a degree at Rutgers University in Camden, New Jersey; Kane enlisted in the Marines in September 2006 and was assigned to the 4th Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 4th Marine Division, Marine Forces Reserve, based out of Camp Pendleton, California.
Kane served his community as an outstanding role model and representative for military and veteran students at Rutgers University.
Lance Corporal Kane was an ambitious and courageous young man who loved his country and the military. Kane tragically lost his life while heroically and selflessly serving his country in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan. Kane was a dedicated soldier as well as a loving son and brother, whose memory lives in the hearts of his family and fellow soldiers. Kane's patriotism and dedicated service to his country and his fellow soldiers make it appropriate and fitting for the State of New Jersey to remember him and his family, to mark his passing, and to honor his memory.
Chris Christie, Governor of the State of New Jersey, ordered and directed the flag of the United States of America and the state flag of New Jersey to be flown at half-staff at all State departments, offices, agencies, and instrumentalities during appropriate hours on Friday, January 29, 2010, in recognition and mourning of a brave and loyal American hero, United States Marine Lance Corporal Jeremy Kane.
