In 1941, Ryan Joseph Smith was K.I.A ( killed in action )in WW11. Serving in the United States Marine Corps, Smith was a Specialist and was a rifleman. His childhood took place in Bayville, New Jersey and attended Highschool in honors. Most of his squadmates did not make it either. He was brave and wanted nothing more but to die for his country. Unfortunately he got his wish on January 9th, 1942. His death will not be forgotten and will be celebrated on Jan. 9th. R.I.P brother.
