-Jack Lowe hugs his mother, Alyssa Herb, after a ceremony where Jack Lowe was named an “Honorary Marine,” on behalf of the Commandant of the Marine Corps, by U.S. Marine Corps Brig. Gen. Walker M. Field, the commanding general of Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island and Eastern Recruiting Region, at the Lowe family residence on November 1, 2023. Lowe was honored for his unwavering dedication and his remarkable resilience in the face of adversity through his ongoing fight with Ewing Sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. Lowe has a long familial history of military service and always dreamed of serving his country.
The Honorary Marine program officially began in 1992 under 30th Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Carl E. Mundy. The bestowment of the title “Honorary Marine” is “designed to reinforce the special bond between the American people and the Marine Corps by recognizing individuals in the civilian community who have made extraordinary contributions to the Marine Corps”.
