Fox 23 Maine reported that Wallingford joined the Marines in 2016 and had previously served as a volunteer firefighter in Standish, a town of approximately 10,000 people 15 miles west of Portland.

"He was always willing and wanting to help out where ever he could with whatever he could," Standish Fire Chief Rob Caron told the station, adding: "When he came back [from boot camp], he was a totally different kid, going from a toddler to an adult overnight, it was fantastic what it did for him and I think we were all just as proud as his parents were."
