Sgt Blanding was my Drill Instructor (DI), while I was a Marine recruit. More specifically, he was my DI during the summer of 1991, with Platoon 1098. WHAT A MARINE! He was an outstanding Marine who molded civilians into Marines. He honorably served our nation... my thoughts and prayers are with the Blanding family at this difficult time.

Semper Fi,
Angelo Berrios
