Combat Fatality
The Department of Defense announced the death of a 2nd BCT soldier.
Spc. Francisco G. Martinez, of the 1-9th, was killed on 3.20.2005 in Tamin "as a result of enemy small arms fire." According to the Dallas/Ft. Worth Star-Telegram (reg req'd), his father indicated that he "was shot in the hip and died en route to a medical facility." Spc. Martinez, from Fort Worth, was 20 years old. He joined the army after high school, following in the steps of his father who served for 10 years. He had hoped to attend college after leaving the Army and becoming a graphic designer.
Spc. Martinez is the 10th soldier from the 1-9th, and the 67th 2nd BCT serviceman, to die in Iraq while serving our country. Our hearts go out to his family.
