Virginia Marine Falls: Lance Cpl. Daniel Morris

158 words.

I’m embarrassed at how late I am to mention this, but here goes: This year I’m trying to do what little I can to honor fallen soldiers from Virginia by making a brief note about their passing. It’s not nearly as much as they deserve.

Marine Lance Cpl. Daniel Morris of Augusta County was killed in Iraq by a landmine on Valentine’s Day. This is the 3rd Virginia KIA this year, by my count. From the Times-Dispatch: “He wanted to go to Iraq. He wanted to relieve some other man who might be a father or a husband so he could come home to his family,” said former band leader Matt Baraclough. “Tell me that’s not honorable.”
