05/27/2015
Ed Smid, ’11, a magna cum laude graduate of IU McKinney, is working to set up a memorial scholarship to honor the service of an Indiana Marine killed in battle over five years ago.
A golf outing planned for September in Noblesville will help fund the Brandon Barrett Memorial Scholarship. Smid, a veteran of the Marine Corps who served as an infantry office in Afghanistan and Iraq, is also co-chair of the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation of Indianapolis, as well as the effort to set up the Barrett Scholarship. Barrett was a captain in the Marine Corp who was killed in action in Afghanistan on May 5, 2010. A story about the effort was published in the May 20 issue of Indiana Lawyer.
