RALEIGH, N.C. A Johnston County man was one of four Camp Lejeune Marines killed in two roadside bomb attacks in western Iraq, his mother said.

Parr was one of three Marines killed when an unusually large improvised bomb exploded under their armored Humvee about 1:30 a.m. Monday and destroyed it, according to a Washington Post reporter embedded with the Marines in Hit. Two Marines died quickly, and another died later of his wounds, said the story in Tuesdays editions of the newspaper. Two more were injured.

Bring us, O Lord God, at our last awakening, into the house and gate of heaven,
to enter into that gate, and dwell in that house where there shall be no darkness nor dazzling, but one equal light;
no noise nor silence, but one equal music;
no fears nor hopes, but one equal possession;
no ends nor beginnings, but one equal eternity;
in the habitation of Thy glory and dominion,
world without end. Amen.
My sincere heartfelt condolences to David's family. May God give you peace in your heart and strength to carry on.
