It was a spare, solemn service for a tough Marine Corps veteran who rarely talked about himself.

Jeremy Sears’ friends spoke for him Wednesday at a Miramar National Cemetery ceremony, where uniformed Marines presented a folded American flag to Sears’ widow, Tami.

Sears – who did five combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan before leaving the Marines in 2012 – killed himself Oct. 6 at an Oceanside gun range.
