Sgt Myrie made the Supreme Sacrifice on 25 JUN 11 while conducting combat operations in Helmand province, Afghanistan. He was assigned to 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, Camp Lejeune, NC.
Military honors were executed by the United States Marine Corps detachment from Hialeah, Fl., their appearance and decorum were impeccable to say the least.
