Rhode Island Marine killed in Iraq bombing

By Eric Tucker
Associated Press

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A female Marine from Cranston who died in a suicide bombing attack in Iraq was remembered Saturday as a popular high school cheerleader who was “always ready to help anyone out.”

Lance Cpl. Holly A. Charette, 21, died Thursday after a vehicle carrying explosives struck her vehicle in Fallujah, the Defense Department said. She was the first female Marine killed in Iraq.

“She wanted to become a Marine after 9-11,” Charlene Wheetman, Charette’s aunt, said Saturday in a statement on behalf of the family. “She wanted to do something for her country. She was a very proud Marine.”

Jaime Caniglia said she didn’t know her former teammate on the Cranston High School East hockey cheerleading squad was serving in Iraq until she saw Charette’s photo in a newspaper Saturday.

“She was an awesome, awesome girl,” said Caniglia, who...

  Holly-I'm in Iraq now I got her a month to late to see you. I miss you so much. I will never forget all the crazy times we had. I feel like you are my guardian angel out here. I wish I could wake up from this dream but I face reality everyday that I come to work and see your picture on my desk. Thanks for everything you touched my life in a way that you will never know. Your death will not be in vain Holly Bug!! We will never forget you. I love you and miss you so much. See you in heaven.

  Holly was a great person, anyone lucky enough to have met her knows the happiness and love she gave off. I think of her often and wish I could talk to her one more time. It is hard to lose a friend that you have not talked to in a while. Even though I will no longer be able to make contact with her in person, I talk to her daily. I know that she is an angel in heaven looking over all of us. One day, if I have a little girl of my own I will name her Holly. SO

  I have been on so many of these and have tried so many times to write something, but before now I never could. I guess I have finally come to the realization that no matter what I write, I can not change what happened. I think about you everyday and miss you so so much. You were a great roommate, an amazing person, and an even better friend. With all my heart, I hope you knew just how much you meant to me. I will remember you everyday and cherish all the times we spent together. I love you and I miss you dearly.

Until the day we meet again,

Sarah (Sarahbadarah)

  My bestfriend, my angel. I thought as the days went on it would get a little easier, but it doesnt. i cry myself to sleep wishing things would change. Holly i miss you so much. I talk to alex and help him through this too as the pain we both have is so strong. we were up until 5am just talking about you hol, and all the memories we have shared with you. I told him about all the goofy things you and I did while he was away at iraq and when i came down to NC, and how Doc caught you singing into the hair brush while we were getting ready to head out for the night. that was great. i couldnt stop laughing. that was what you did best you always made me laugh. Holly i miss you sooooo much. i wish i could have taken all the pain you recieved, instead of you recieving it. HOlly ill see you when i cross over! i miss you. Danielle

  I hung out with Holly on a couple of occasions and she was a great person. She made me laugh a lot and have a good time. She will be missed very much. But I will not mourn, although it was just a few times we hung out, i will remember those and remember what she was doing and why she died. She brought a smile to everyone she met and knew. To her parents I am sorry for the lose.

  My heartfelt condolences go out to the parents of Holly. for surely I felt your pain, if only for a short time, as I waited to hear from my daughter who is in the same unit. Shattered by the news on that friday morning, I sat trembling for hours waiting to hear form my Jessica. though I was truely relieved that she was ok, the reality of your loss struck me deeply.

I'm sure that our girls knew each other and that Holly will be missed dearly by her fellow Marines.

  Holly, May You Rest In Peace, knowing you served the United States of America. Daniele, I hope you will heal, knowing how proud you must be of your Best Friend.

Daniele you knew my Dad, David, He was a Marine! I lost him to cancer last Fathers Day. He would be so proud of Holly! May all of you who mourn Holly, I hope you find PEACE.

Jose Ricardo Flores-Mejia

It's been 20 years since your passing... However, I never forgotten the day you told me I am married, I am going to have a baby, and day your son was born... You touched some many lives in different ways in your brief time on this earth in ways others can't imagine... Some people can be given a life time on this earth and accomplish nothing, and there are some people who are given a short time and accomplish so much... You Mr. Flores-Mejia aka Ricky was that person and soldier who accomplish so much in your shoft tme... As I see the days pass by, and the war seems to be a distant memory, your memory is still alive in my life, and still on this and like other days with my grandchildren I sit back like we did many times and listen to those West Coast oldies... "Never Forgotten"


Frank E. Adamski III

Laurie Cobb

She was my 3rd and 5th grade teacher. Today I'm 32 and still think about her. She was the best teacher ever. From her hair children stories to her bubbly happiness and kindness she spread. I'll never forget her. She was the teacher who had lunch with the kids in her classroom so everyone had someone to be with. She made my school experience amazing. I will never forget her.. I love you Mrs. Cobb. Sincerely, Forever in my thoughts, Alyssa (Viau) Capone


Larry E Polley Jr

SPC Polley died almost two decades ago so I don't know if this message will be seen. In honor of Memorial Day, my agency hands out cards with names of those who have fallen. This year, 2023, I received the card for SPC Polley and was inspired to look up more on him. I am thankful for his service and sacrifice. My condolences to his family. He is not forgotten.


Paul C. Holter III

Miss you brother


Alex D Gonzalez

Love you and miss you always. Since you been gone it has been hard for everyone. I know you loved what you did, and I want to thank you for our freedom. If I can have you back home and safe living your life man everything would be different. No matter how much money they would offer me I would rather have you alive and home. Money comes and go so it's not worth losing you.


Christopher D Young

hello my name is Jesus Vega I would like to give my condolences to Christopher's family and friends, I served with him in Iraq and slept in the same quarters. I have many fond memories of him. I have never forgotten his sacrifice. I would like to share that the greatest memory I had of Chris is that he would speak highly of his mom and how much she meant to him. Chris was a strong minded person and looked out for other. He was kind and friendly the he made friends with everyone. Chris was truly a great man! I sincerely apologize for not sharing sooner. but would like to express that Chris's memory will never be forgotten! though he is not with us he will always be in spirit! If this message gets to Christopher's mother I she could know she raised a great man and for that I thank you.

James David Parker

I knew James David Parker as "Dave" when he lived in Solon Ohio. We met when I moved into town from out of state. He and his group of friends were a year or two older than me. Dave was a bright beacon of hope and joy to me. I was an unsure young man in a strange place. Dave introduced me to many people and ensured his friends always saved me a seat in the lunchroom. I have fond memories of him and his friends during that time. I doubt so many people would have been as wonderful toward me without Dave's incredible kindness. I've never forgotten his kindness. I hope to be able to pay it forward someday.
