Michael M. Carey told his high school guidance counselor in Prince George County, Va., that all he wanted to be was a U.S. Marine. He was living his dream when he died Tuesday in Iraq. He was 20.

His parents, who live in Amelia, Va., could not be reached for comment.

Carey was married and is survived by a daughter, Mia Carey, according to the local newspaper, the Hopewell News.

Jackson's high school principal said she told him in an e-mail that she had left home as "mommy's little girl, and now had grown up to be a full-fledged soldier."

She joined the Army in August and was sent to Fort Hood in December. The 1st Cavalry arrived in the middle east in March, proceeding first to Kuwait, then to Iraq.

At 18, Jackson is believed to be the youngest soldier from this region to die in Iraq. A truck driver for the 1st Cavalry Division, she was killed Thursday when her vehicle hit a roadside bomb, the Pentagon said.

where he asks congressmen to sign up thier kids for the war..

from the soon-to-be-drafted-and-killed 18 to 26 year olds...and those who love them.....

just like Vietnam, until the outrage reaches a MUCH MUCH higher pitch...the killing will continue unabated and increasing...currently up to about 4 deaths per day and nobody cares...

,...who haven't come anywhere near into their own.

How terribly, terribly sad.
