www.marinecorpstimes.com -- The family of a Wisconsin Marine who went missing in a flash flood in Iraq will be able to lay him to rest.
The body of Lance Cpl. Eric A. Palmisano, 27, of Florence, Wis., was found April 11 after a nine-day search, Marine Corps officials said April 13.

Palmisano, a logistics vehicle system operator, died April 2 after the seven-ton utility truck he was riding in rolled during a flash flood near Al Asad air base, west of Baghdad. It’s unclear whether Palmisano was driving the truck at the time.
He was assigned to 1st Transportation Support Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group based at Camp Pendleton. He enlisted in the Marine Corps on March 15, 2005 and had received the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and the National Defense Service Medal, according to the Camp Pendleton public affairs office.
A sailor, Petty Officer 3rd Class Marcques J. Nettles, 22, of Beaverton, Ore., is still missing as of April 13. Pentagon officials have listed him as “duty status-whereabouts unknown” and said that the search for him continues. |

I would like to say thank you to you and the other men who were in that truck with you for your service and sacrifice for our Country. And to your family, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
