CORPORAL CHRIS BORDONI
Chris Bordoni was a local kid who loved to play hard. As he grew he
started turning that drive into a personal mission a mission of service to
his community and country. When Chris Bordoni became a Marine, he was
fulfilling the destiny he felt he was born to achieve. Tragically, Corporal Bor-
doni lost his life overseas during Operation Enduring Freedom.
From sadness comes hope
