Yesterday I said that the good news was no soldiers were killed today. Somehow I shouldn't have said it, because it turns out that the news was delayed.

Sergeant Alessandro Carbonaro died 10-May-2006 from wounds received in the Al Anbar Province (probably Fallujah) on May 1.

The Department of Defense announced today the death of a Marine who was supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Sgt. Alessandro Carbonaro, 28, of Bethesda, Md., died May 10, at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, Germany, from wounds received while conducting combat operations against enemy forces in Al Anbar province, Iraq, on May 1. He was assigned to 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force, Camp Lejeune, N.C. Media with questions about this Marine can call the 2nd Marine Division Public Affairs Office at (910)- 451-9033.
