The List, First Quarter, July 2008

Once again, time turns, and it is time for the list of names released since the Full Moon.  As always, my sympathy to the families and loved ones of those fallen in the wars.

Pfc. Willington M. Rhoads, 23, of Las Vegas, Nev., Army - Afghanistan - non-hostile incident

1st Lt. Jason D. Mann, 29, of Woodlynne, N.J., Marine - Afghanistan - non-hostile incident

Aviation Boatswain Mate Third Class Petty officer Daniel R. Verbeke, 25, of Exton, Penn., died July 14 in Paoli, Penn. of complications from injuries he suffered in a flight deck accident in December 2005 while serving aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt, CVN-71. (My deep sorrow for Daniel’s parents—the things they and he endured trying to get proper care for him over the long haul between his wounding and his death.  I urge you to Google his story and read it. The VA was more the enemy than the friend in this story)

Staff Sgt. Danny P. Dupre, 28, of Lockport, La., Marine - Iraq - combat ops

1st Lt. Nick A. Dewhirst, 25, of Onalaska, Wis., Army- Afghanistan - RPG, small arms fire
