I am very proud and humbled to report that we have been asked to fly the flag of Marine Lance Cpl. Dimitrios Gavriel, who was killed in enemy action in Al Anbar Province, Iraq. He was assigned to 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Dimmy died on November 19, 2004.
We hope also to carry the flag given in an Eagle Court of Honor to Dan Cole, one of our own crew who served in Fallujah as well.
