Mallard joined the Marines nearly two years ago and after boot camp, he was assigned to the presidential honor guard.

Linda Mallard, Honor Guard Marine's mom: "It really makes me, I don't like to brag, but I'm proud, he's getting to do something he'll be remembered forever."

Mallard will guard over Reagan's casket today as well.
