Corporal James Smith was just 21 years old when he was killed at the first crash site during the Battle of Mogadishu. A Ranger from Long Valley, New Jersey, he exemplified the Ranger creed — never leaving a fallen comrade. His Bronze Star with Valor Device honors the courage he showed in his final moments. At Queenslake, his memorial reminds us that heroes are not measured by age, but by the depth of their commitment to those beside them.
