DoD Identifies Marine Casualty
The Department of Defense announced today the death of a Marine
who was supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Lance Cpl. John J. Thornton, 22, of Phoenix, Ariz., died Feb. 25
of wounds received as a result of an enemy mortar attack in Ar Ramadi, Iraq.
He was assigned to 3rd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division,
I Marine Expeditionary Force, Twentynine Palms, Calif. During Operation
Iraqi Freedom, his unit was attached to 2nd Marine Division, II Marine
Expeditionary Force (Forward).
Media with questions about this Marine can call the Twentynine
Palms
Hey 20062298277,
I have one small request to make; Would you please stop using the word
"OOPS" to precede your postings of the death announcements from the
DoD? It is a terrible thing that our soldiers are dying over there and
I am not trying to start an off topic discussion pro or con about the
war. I think using OOPS trivializes their deaths and I see that as
being disrespectful to those fallen soldiers.
I too am a veteran (NAVY '72-'79) and I am asking you to change the way
you report these death notices.
Thanks,
Marc
