Marine Cpl. Cody Wanken died Wednesday in San Diego.
Wanken was seriously injured in the Fallujah area. His unit was in the third month of a seven-month deployment at the time.
According to published reports, he suffered eye, ear and other facial injuries.
In the days after being wounded, Wanken was transferred to the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., where he underwent surgery.
In an Oct. 12, 2007, story in The Des Moines Register, Wanken was quoted as saying he was looking forward to a month-long stay at home in Hampton as part of his recuperation.
