Quoted:
Does anyone know anything about this young lad? It doesn't really matter which branch he served in, we lost another patriotic soul. The pictures of him on the news he is in an Army uniform. That is JROTC uniform. IIRC, DeKalb only offers Army JROTC. AJC story on Lance Cpl. John Cagle 
Barker said it was hard to deter Cagle, a 2010 graduate of Chamblee Charter High School in DeKalb County. Cagle participated in JROTC while in high school and joined the Marines after graduation.
