"Sergeant Garrett Misener was the epitome of a combat Marine whose extensive knowledge of warfare and strong leadership traits came from four combat deployments between Iraq and Afghanistan. You’ll be hard-pressed to find Marines of senior rank with as much combat experience as Sgt. Misener. He was often referred to as the best squad leader or completely dedicated to the Marine Corps." - Lt. Col. James R. Fullwood, commanding officer of 2/9.
