U.S. Casualties in Iraq reported 1/11/06

The D.O.D. apparently has taken to abbreviating their press releases so they can include more than one casualty in each release. I don't even know how to react to that.

The Department of Defense announced today the death of five Marines: Lance Cpl. Kyle W. Brown, 22, of Newport News, Va., Lance Cpl. Jeriad P. Jacobs, 19, of Clayton, N.C., Lance Cpl. Jason T. Little, 20, of Climax, Mich., Cpl. Brett L. Lundstrom, 22, of Stafford, Va., and Lance Cpl. Raul Mercado, 21, of Monrovia, Calif. All five Marines died on Jan. 7. Mercado was killed when his vehicle was attacked with an improvised explosive device while conducting combat operations near Al Karmah, Iraq. He was assigned to 2nd Maintenance Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, II Marine Expeditionary Force, Camp Lejeune, N.C. Little was killed when his tank was attacked with an improvised explosive device while conducting combat operations near Ferris, Iraq.
