In an interview on Friday, the father of 31-year-old Darin Taylor Hoover Jr. said he wants people to know who his son is and how much he loved his country.<\/p>\n<p>Hoover had reportedly been serving in the Marines for 11 years and was on his third deployment to Afghanistan. His father said he was doing for others what they couldn\u2019t do for themselves and made the ultimate sacrifice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe loves his country. He loves people. He led his men into that and they followed him. But I know in my heart of hearts he was out front and they followed him into the gates of Hell,\u201d said Hoover\u2019s father. \u201cAnd ultimately, that\u2019s pretty much what he did, just to help preserve our freedoms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Utah Congressman Chris Stewart (R) expressed his condolences to Hoover\u2019s family, saying \u201cthe loved ones of this hero have my full support and immeasurable gratitude. This soldier\u2019s heroism will never be forgotten.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Yesterday, the state of Utah lost one of its finest in a tragic act of terror.
