RAMADI, IRAQ (April 29, 2008) - Lance Cpl. Jordan Haerter was killed in action April 22, by a suicide bomber inside a dump truck with approximately 1,000 pounds of high explosives. Haerter battled a hostile challenger, in turn saving the lives off countless Marines, sailors, Iraqi Policemen, and civilians. He displayed heroic, self-sacrificing actions and truly lived up to the phrase �honor, courage, and commitment� while putting his own life in harm�s way. (RELEASED)

[this is good]

Thank you for this post- It's so good to see his smile and to know he was happy where he was. He wrote to me that "we're going to do an outstanding job over here and then come home" Thank you 1/9 United States Marine Corps.
