Marine Cpl. Jose A. Garibay
The officers in the Marines don't treat us badly. The only thing is that we don't eat very well, I'm glad there are women to look at here. ..... I'm fine and I hope to return soon. Send me two things that I like very much: Mexican candies and a CD of Vicente Ferandez and one of Chalino Sanchez. (Translated from the Spanish.)
Garibay, 21, of Costa Mesa, Calif., was killed March 23 in Nasiriyah by Iraqi soldiers who pretended to surrender, then opened fire when Marines approached.
