The ultimate sacrifice

A young Cherry Hill resident made the ultimate sacrifice on Saturday, Jan. 22, as Jeremy Kane was killed in action while stationed in Afghanistan. The young lance corporal was shipped out to Afghanistan with his Marine unit this past October, said his mother Melinda Kane. He was killed in action when a suicide bomber attacked his unit.

Kane, 22, held a desire to join the armed forces after the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, his mother said. But, he had always harbored an interest in the military as his father, Bruce, had served as a major in the Army and received his medical education through the Army. Unfortunately, Bruce died in June 2008 while Kane was receiving his Marine training.

Kane was even born on military ground, as he came into this world at Fort Polk, located in Louisiana. Despite the family’s military history – Melinda’s father had also served in the Marines – Melinda said the family hadn’t pushed Jeremy into serving his county and were nervous when he announced his intentions after graduating from Cherry Hill East High School in 2006.

“What solidified his interest was Sept. 11th. He was always very aware of what was going on in the world. At the end of his senior year he talked about his desire to join the Marines,” Melinda said. “As his parents we were very scared for him and we asked for him to wait on his decision, go college for a year and then decide. He enrolled in Towson University and eventually transferred to Rutgers Camden to be closer to his family.”
