U.S. Marine Lance Corporal (LCpl)
​Andrew P. Carpenter of Columbia, TN

Served in Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF)
KIA / Died February 19, 2011,
from enemy sniper fire wounds on February 14, in Helmand province, Afghanistan
Born September 28, 1983 in Charlotte, MI
Graduated in 2002 from Columbia Central HS in Columbia, TN
His wife, Crissie (married 2010), and son, Landon (born 2011), miss him dearly

The Director of the YMCA after-school program where Andrew was employed, said this about him, 
“... all the kids loved him and he definitely made a huge impact on the kids. He was always fun to be with and was a team player.”
