Another Marine Departed

The Washington Post has a touching story about LCpl Colin Wolfe’s death in Iraq and the loved ones he left behind at home.

Wolfe had volunteered for a midday mission in the town of Habbaniya. During the patrol, his Humvee hit a roadside bomb. The blast ignited the gas tank, then the ammunition. He died instantly. He was buried in Arlington National Cemetery on September 11th, 2006. For more information on LCpl Wolfe, you can visit his Arlington memorial page.
