Gov. Phil Murphy on Wednesday said the Marine from New Jersey killed in a training exercise last week “was made of the stuff of which all great Maines are made.”
Private First Class Dalton Beals, 19, of Pennsville died Friday in Parris Island, South Carolina, two weeks before he was scheduled to graduate, the Marines said.
Murphy opened his coronavirus press conference in Trenton by speaking briefly about Beals, who played football, wrestled and was on the track and field team at Pennsville Memorial High School before graduating in 2020.
