Another Arkansan is among the latest
casualities of the war in Iraq. Twenty-one-year-old TJ Parker of
Heber Springs was among four US Marines killed yesterday in an
ambush in Ramadi, 60 miles west of Bagdad. Parker served with a
sniper platoon of the First Marine Division out of Camp Pendleton,
California. He and three other Marines were killed by insurgents
and videotaped lying dead in what appeared to be a walled compound
in Ramadi. Parker is survived by his wife, Carla, and one-year-old
daughter, Laura. Family pastor Reverend John Bishop says Parker`s
family is clinging to his letters for comfort.
