Description
English: A U.S. Marine from the Twentynine Palms, Calif.-based 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion pays final respects during a memorial service Aug. 10, 2006, in Rawah, Iraq, for four of the battalion's Marines who were killed in action last month. The four memorialized were: Sgt. Christian B. Williams, a 27-year-old from Winterhaven, Fla.; Cpl. Phillip E. Baucus, a 28-year-old from Wolf Creek, Mont.; Lance Cpl. Anthony E. Butterfield, a 19-year-old from Clovis, Calif.; and Lance Cpl. Jason Hanson, a 21-year-old from Forks, Wash. All four Marines, who were part of the battalion's Company D, were killed on a small U.S. and Iraqi military outpost in Rawah, a city of about 12,000 along the Euphrates River in Iraq's Al Anbar Province. �They all gave their lives for one thing � for love of their country and for the men and women back home who will never understand why we do it,� said Cpl. Benjamin T. Bosse, a 25-year-old from Coopersville, Mich., who spoke to the assembled crowd of Marines, sailors and soldiers during the service.
