Remembering Marine Domitilo Ponce, III 🇺🇸

Today, we pause in gratitude and respect to remember Marine Domitilo “Dom” Ponce, III (1980–2025). His life was a testament to honor, duty, and selfless service.

Dom answered a call higher than himself — choosing the path of devotion, discipline, and sacrifice. As a Marine, he carried the values of Semper Fidelis in every moment: never forgetting the men and women he served with, always putting mission over ease, and standing as a guardian for others even when the night was long.

To his family and friends: your loss echoes deeply across the Corps. May you find comfort in the memory of his courage, his laughter, his loyalty, and his heart. Though he is gone from sight, his legacy lives on — in every life he touched, in every story told, and in the unending bond among Marines.

Let us carry forward Dom’s example: to love fiercely, to serve humbly, and to walk boldly in faith and conviction. Because he did.

Semper Fidelis, Marine Ponce. You will never be forgotten.
