High-ranking Marine officer killed in Iraq

Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. � A Marine Corps helicopter pilot was killed in Iraq when shots fired from the ground hit him while he was on a mission, the military said Thursday.

Lt. Col. David S. Greene, 39, was among the highest-ranking officers to die since the U.S.-led coalition invaded Iraq in March 2003.

The Pentagon listed his home town as Raleigh. Maj. Randy Parker, a spokesman for Greene�s Marine Corps Reserve training detachment in Johnstown, Pa., said Greene was a Raleigh native and listed it as his hometown, but that he lived in Shelburne, Vt.

Greene is survived by a wife and children in Vermont. A message left at his home was...

Davie, you live as my inspiration to pick up where you left off.

I saw you last as a childhood friend; the same dimpled faced smiling that I immediately recognized 30 years later in this photograph. You gave your life serving your wounded brothers in a medical evac mission. While you answered a higher call, gained admission and graduation from Annapolis and served your country in Active Duty I became a Board Certified General Surgeon, 20 years now in private practice. You anonymously served me and my family through an Active Duty and Reserve career.

Last year, I left private practice to enlist in the Medical Corps, U.S. Army. They have given me Lt. Col. rank and today I am admitted to the Medical Staff at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. I will be taking care of injured soldiers and the surgical needs of their families. I will deploy overseas to combat areas to care for our brethern. I will always be sustained by your sacrifice.

	Prayers & Condolences For: Col David S Greene BY John on Apr 09, 2008
	May the grace of God, the love of Jesus, and the peace of the Holy Spirit be with you and your family forever.

Blue C. Rowe

I am the Chaplain, along with 1SG Obalabi, who made this notification. This was my fifth death notification in 2009. I remembered this one like it was yesterday, and I routinely think about 1SG Rowe’s wife and their son, who was seven at the time. This notification stands out to me because we had to come back to the house a few times because no one was home. We finally saw a light on around 2130, and I and 1SG O went to the door and knocked. 1SG Rowe’s wife answered the door, and it was clear that his wife was not registering why we were there. She did invite us, and we sat down at the table, and ISG O made the notification. 1SG Rowe’s wife said, "Are you sure?" She asked that question five times, and I finally said, " Ma’am, we would not be here if we were not sure. Her response to us was, I just spoke to him a couple of days ago, and he was supposed to come home next week. She immediately got up from the table, called her dad, and notified him. She collapsed to the floor and was crying. The 1SG and I just stood there. We were there for a while, and I remembered that when she asked me to pray, I had to pause a few times to keep from losing it. Cindy, I thought about your husband through the years, and I often wondered how you and your son are doing. I have often prayed for you and your family. And I thank your husband for his sacrifice to our country. I do hope you see this, and I will continue to pray for you and your family. God Bless You Chaplain Will Strong Jr. US Army Retired Romans 8:37

Jose L. Montenegro Jr

When one thinks of the Marines they think of men like SSGT Ram. A Marines, Marine. A leader, not only in title, but also within the respect of his men above and below him…

Philip A. Murphy-Sweet

Phil worked for me when he volunteered to deploy to Iraq with the Joint Contracting Command. He was a great officer, a great friend and an incredible husband/father. He was just a couple of days away from returning from his deployment. I received an email from him on 5 April requesting to stay a bit longer so he could finish the job started. I had not yet responded to his email when I was notified by our Commanding Office on Easter morning that Phil had been killed. Miss you Phil!

David A Wilkey Jr

A good young man. My son's best friend.

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

To the family of Frank Adamski, including his wife and daughter, my sincere condolences. I plan to make sure he is never forgotten.
