Mr. Coin was from Detroit, MI. He was a LCPL in the Marine Corps. It was his dream to be a Marine and he enlisted two days after he graduated from high school. He served one tour in Vietnam and volunteered for a second tour. Two weeks into his second tour, he stepped on a land mind while putting up a barbed wire fence. He was buried on what would have been his two-year anniversary in the Marine Corps. He had two sisters and one brother.
