The Retired Enlisted Association Buries It’s National President Patrick W. Corbett
This is a sad day for The Retired Enlisted Association. Today is the funeral of our National President Patrick W. Corbett in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. He was buried with full military honors at Union Cemetery.
President Corbett dedicated years working for TREA. First he worked in local Chapters and then as a member of TREA’s the Board of Directors, then as Second Vice President, First Vice President and for the last 2 years as National President. All of us will miss him deeply. He died suddenly last Saturday shortly after the birth of his 5th grandchild.
He moved back to Bellefonte in 2004, from Denver, CO, to be near his three adult children, Patrick Jr., Carrie and Michael, that he loved and was so proud of. He had served in the Marine Corps for 23 years, including two tours of duty in Vietnam, retiring as a Gunnery Sergeant. But, of course, he was always a Marine. Again we will all miss him. Semper Fidelis.
