Born: August 25, 1982
Died: April 30, 2004 in Anbar, Iraq
Cpl. Scott M. Vincent of Bokoshe, Oklahoma attended Bokoshe High School and joined the Marines in July of 2000, two months after his high school graduation. He was destined to be a United States Marine; his chosen motto for the high school yearbook was Semper Fi. After the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, his unit was shipped to Afghanistan to help secure Kandahar. His comrades spoke of his bravery and leadership in several enemy encounters. He loved his country, he loved his family and he loved God. His passions were for NASCAR, University of Oklahoma athletics and hunting, the latter of which he displayed on his camouflaged sleeves. He was in his element, running around with a rifle with a bunch of guys and he was proud to be a Marine. Though he was scheduled to be discharged, Scott volunteered for another tour in Iraq. He was killed at age 21 in Anbar province, Iraq. He leaves his parents, Royce and Judy Vincent, to sisters, Kimberly and Alisha. His family accepted the Navy Marine Corps Commendation Medal with Valor on his behalf.
