Aid efforts continue for injured Marine

Chestatee security guard asks for support

While a security guard at Chestatee High School in northwest Hall, Rudy Guerrero took time out to encourage some students to join the Marines. Sean Adams, who wowed recruiters with his 100 pushups, followed through on his dream. And like Guerrero, an ex-Marine who served in Vietnam, Adams went straight to a war zone — for him, it was Afghanistan. While there, he met disaster.

While leading a patrol with other Marines on Feb. 10, the 2011 Chestatee graduate was injured by a roadside bomb blast and suffered life-altering injuries from the resulting blast. He is now a double amputee. “I feel bad because he’s a young guy, I knew him, I talked him into going into the Marine Corps,” Guerrero said. “He already had it planned out, but still I feel bad. And he’s a Marine, and we have to help him out.” Guerrero is trying to place donation cans in public locations, as a member of the Marine Corps League, Upper Chattahoochee Detachment.

Lending support Family members of Sean Adams have created a website and a Facebook page to provide updates on his condition. Email inquiries can be sent to pfcseanadams@yahoo.com.
