Marine Pfc. Brandon C. Smith of Fayetteville, Arkansas knew at age 16 that he wanted to join the Marines, but his father wouldn't give the teenager his permission. So Smith waited, enlisting in September 2003. He made up his mind years ago that he was going into the Marines. He was more outgoing and spontaneous around his friends. Smith was driven to succeed. He wanted to be the best, and the Marines were the best. The Marine planned to attend college and become an officer. He was 20.
