2nd BCT Media Links

This blog centralized media links for the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division during its deployment from Korea to Iraq as part of OIF 2.5, Aug 2004 - July 2005. It was updated daily over the year, with only sporadic updates since. It is left on-line for historical interest (although many links are likely now broken) and as a tribute to the 2nd BCT servicemen who lost their lives serving in Iraq. May they rest in peace and may their legacy be forever remembered.

Combat Fatalities

The Department of Defense announced the combat death of two Marines affiliated with the 2nd BCT.

Cpl. Jeremiah A. Baro and Lance Cpl. Jared P. Hubbard, of the 2/5 Marines, were killed in the Anbar province from enemy action. Cpl. Baro was 21 years old. Lance Cpl. Hubbard was 22. Both where from California. They are the 25th and 26th 2nd BCT servicemen killed serving our country in Iraq.

A California ABC affiliate and an AP article report that the two marines had been best friends since childhood. They were on the same high-school wrestling team, joined the Marines together, and were on their second tour of duty in Iraq as a sniper team. Our hearts go out to their families.

    they were best friends.. The family thanks the outburst of support for their loss. Jeremiah or Jeral as he is fondly called will be missed terribly.

    God bless their souls.
