He was the best and most inspiring marine I’ve ever had a privilege of leading me. Always listened and cared for his marines, and always took time after work to hang out with us around the barracks. He was a great person to be around and is greatly missed. Thanks for everything ssrgt, simper fi

I had the privilege of serving under SSGT. Dupre for over a year. He was more than just a Platoon Sergeant he was a true leader and always "put the boys first." The thing that sticks out most in my head is that he was always very approachable, always got the job done, and at the end of the day... was just one of the guys. A few qualities that every SNCO needs to take a lesson from.

Until we meet again brother. God bless.

Danny loved celebrating this special day! The Marines state, “We won’t stand down until our mission is complete.” You never did, Danny! Never a day you aren't missed! Daniel is now 7 years old, and is learning about his Daddy's loves and experiences. He talks about you with such joy.
