CHARLESTON, W.Va. A Marine from West Virginia who was shot to death during combat in Iraq joined the military because he wanted to follow in the footsteps of the grandfather who raised him, his sister says.
Lance Cpl. Adam J. Crumpler, 19, of Campbells Creek, died Saturday after being hit by small-arms fire during Operation Spear in Karabilah, Iraq, the Pentagon said Monday. The dusty town is about 200 miles west of Baghdad and near Qaim, on the Syrian border, where the U.S. military launched Operation Spear on Friday to destroy militant networks that may filter across the porous national line.
Marines reported finding a weapons cache in Karabilah early Monday, including two dozen RPG launchers, heavy machine guns and equipment to make up to 25 bombs.
On the day he was killed, Marines from his battalion rescued four Iraqi men from an insurgent...

I was fortunate enough to see my boyfriend return from war but I know I lived with the fear of him dying for 15 months. I am deeply sorry and I am very proud of Adam. He is a hero in my eyes and I am sure the world is less of a better place because he is gone. All of you who were fortunate enough to know him are in my prayers and may he rest in peace. It's truly a shame to see such a young boy loose his life to a horrible war...but heroes like him are the ones that give us our freedom!!
ADAM!! THANK YOU!! for making the ultimate sacrifice!!

! Fidei defensor,Requiescat in pace
We watch in horror, as again the untamed hordes strike at our hearts. Today in London, those who would have our way of life extinguished, brutally murdered people just doing everyday people things. However,none can say that you did not commit your full measure of devotion to protect freedom. You contributed more in your short life than most will in a lifetime. You contributed everything...

Dear Mr. Leftwich, All the convoluted, pseudo-patriotic drivel that your pathetic fingers can type, will never assuage the guilt and condemnation you richly deserve. Your ill treatment of Adam and his dear sister and mother chills the heart of everyone who remembers your unworthy association with this hero. I hope to meet you someday to explain just how bitter the verbal and physical abuse you poured upon or fallen hero during his younger years, has left so many of us. No expressions of false contrition that you post here will change the opinion of those who know you. Rot in hell, you unworthy bastard. Most sincerely, Adam's loving Uncle David
