Re: The Iraq Page, RIP soldiers
Thanks Mrs M. Have you checked the site - The Iraq Page?
This young man died Wednesday. 
Colin J. Wolfe
He was 18. 
Quote:
A Camp Lejeune-based Marine was killed in western Iraq Wednesday, his father said.
Pfc. Colin J. Wolfe, 18, of Manassas, Va., was on patrol in Habbaniyah in Anbar province when his truck rolled over an improvised bomb, his father, Mark Wolfe, said in a telephone interview Friday.
"He was a passenger in a truck, and basically it went off right underneath him," Wolfe said.
Colin Wolfe was assigned to 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force. First Lt. Barry Edwards, a spokesman for the 2nd Marine Division at Camp Lejeune, said Wolfe had joined the Marines in July 2005 and joined his unit in January.
Wolfe had a strong sense of patriotism, and the elite image of the Marine Corps had appealed to him when he was growing up, his father said. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the U.S. invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, there was no question what he would do when he graduated from Osbourn High School last year.
Off duty, in many ways he was a typical 18-year-old Marine, his father said. "He liked to goof off, play video games, find some beer and girls."

Rest in peace Colin.
