I served with GySgt Searcy in Okinawa Japan for many years. Great man great Marine . Took him on an inspection to Main Land Japan with me. He took his responsibilities so serious but always had a way to make you laugh. I loved listening to him he could always crack me up without even trying. Crazy part is he reached out to me after 10 years back in March to tell me how much fun he had serving with me. Will miss him just a really great guy. MGYSGT Steve Carlile / USMC
