| MEMORIAL FOR HALL EMOTIONAL |
|
WENGNews writes, "SOME 200 PEOPLE GATHERED YESTERDAY AT THE FAITH LUTHERAN CHURCH IN PUNTA GORDA TO PAY THEIR LAST RESPECTS TO ERIC HALL, THE EX-MARINE WHO WAS FOUND DEAD IN A DRAINAGE PIPE LAST WEEKEND IN DEEP CREEK, NOT TOO FAR FROM WHERE HE MOVED LATE LAST YEAR. AMONG THE MOURNERS WERE HALL’S FAMILY, VOLUNTEERS AND VETERANS WHO SEARCHED FOR HIM SINCE HE DISAPPEARED ON FEBRUARY 3RD, AND STRANGERS WHO WERE TOUCHED BY HIS STORY. HALL WAS INJURED IN COMBAT BACK IN 2005, AND HIS FAMILY BELIEVES HE SUFFERED FROM POST TRAMATIC STRESS DISORDER. HALL BELIEVED HE WAS UNDER ATTACK WHEN HE STORMED OUT OF HIS HOME ON HIS MOTORCYCLE BACK IN FEBRUARY, AND SOME BELIEVE HE THREW A CIGARETTE TO THE GROUND, WHICH STARTED A SMALL BRUSH FIRE, AND HALL CRAWLED INTO THE PIPE FOR SAFETY. ANOTHER MEMORIAL SERVICE WILL BE HELD IN HIS HOMETOWN IN INDIANA, AND THE FAMILY HOPES HE CAN BE BURIED IN THE ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETARY. HALL WAS JUST 24 YEARS OLD. "
