Their Story

Mcleese, Justin Daniel of COVINGTON, LA, 19 years old, served in the MARINE CORPS with I CO, 3D BN, 1ST MAR, RCT-1, 1ST MAR DIV, CAMP PENDLETON, CA at the rank of LCPL ? one of the Americans deployed to Iraq.

He did not survive OIF. The MARINE CORPS recorded his death on November 13, 2004 in FALLUJAH, IRAQ, from HOSTILE.

In the first year of occupation, military victory gave way to an insurgency the US hadn't planned for. Disbanding the Iraqi army created a vacuum. Armed groups filled it immediately.

The members of I CO, 3D BN, 1ST MAR, RCT-1, 1ST MAR DIV, CAMP PENDLETON, CA who served alongside him carry his memory. His record in DCAS documents his service and sacrifice during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
