Adam C. Conboy

   
Individuals USwww.starbulletin.com -- And Lance Cpl. Adam C. Conboy, 21, of Philadelphia had been in Iraq for just eight weeks when he died Friday in a "nonhostile incident" in Al Anbar province, according to a release from Marine Corps Base Hawaii. The Pentagon did not explain the circumstances of Conboy's death except to say it was under investigation.

Mary Warner, Conboy's mother, told a Philadelphia television station that "Adam strongly felt that it was the responsibility of his generation to carry on the tradition and to defend his country so that we can enjoy the freedoms that we so readily take for granted."

"We were just told that it was nonhostile fire — that he was shot in the chest," said Mary Warner, Conboy's mother. "I feel heartbroken for the other Marine to have to live with that."
He is also survived by his father.

Family members told WCAU-TV that Conboy became a Marine in March 2005 and had been in Iraq for just eight weeks. A spokesman at Kaneohe said Conboy reported to the Windward Oahu base last September. His medals include a Purple Heart.

This poor boy was killed by another Marine, that's all I know. He didn't even get a chance to go into combat Such a terrible circumstance for a young man. Heartfelt condolences to his family.
