A Michigan marine died from a heart seizure on his way home from completing his service in Iraq. 26 year old marine Lance Corporal Aaron Zayac of Genesee Township was only hours away from home when he died. He served two tours of duty in Iraq and was in Indiana on his way from Camp Pendelton, California. Corporal Zayac leaves behind his wife and two young children.

2. The stress plus breathing in all that depleated uranium dust probably

contributed to his death. One of 700,000 plus victims of George Walker Bush's illegal and immoral invasion and occupation.

7. Ingestion of depleted uranium (DU)...

...is going to take a huge toll on our soldiers and their families coming back from Iraq for many years to come, and the health problems will surely span across future generations. Of course, the Neocon controlled U.S. medical establishment will be under enormous pressure not to acknowledge DU as the source of the many serious health problems these families will be plagued with.

Welcome to AmeriKa.

3. Fair wind & following seas. RIP

Hate to lose any Marine, but especially like that. Godspeed to him and especially his wife and kids.

4. Sure, that sounds normal. (sarcasm)

Tons of fit 26 year olds die of heart seizures all the time.

This just goes to show you, it is more dangerous to come home from Iraq than it is to STAY there, right wingnuts?

:sarcasm:

:grr:

5. I'm sure he isn't a casualty and the family will get no money either. nt

6. This is so very sad.

Rest in peace, Lance Corporal Zayac.
