“Lt. Col. Hart was an exceptional leader who cared deeply for his family, the Corps, and his fellow Marines,” Col. Peter L. McArdle, commanding officer of VMX-1, said in a statement to Task & Purpose. “We are deeply saddened by the loss of a great leader and friend, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to support his family throughout this difficult time.”
“The one thing that scares me about the whole thing, it’s not the paradigm of the ‘troubled Marine,’ or the sad person,” Forsling told Task & Purpose, adding that Marines may not tell others they love them since it could be perceived as weakness.
“If you have those feelings about someone, you should let them know,” he said.
