Fahrenheit 9/11 Marine Killed In Combat + Myspace

I had something else planned for this post which I saved for another day since I picked up the San Francisco Chronicle today and read about Staff Sgt. Raymond J. Plouhar who appeared in Michael Moore's, Fahrenheit 9/11. Plouhar was recently killed in a roadside bombing in Iraq.

I did some quick searches on Icerocket and came up with this profile that matches Plouhar's (30 years-old, from Lake Orion, MI, Wife and two kids who live in Arizona). On it you will find links to his wife Leigha who has posted pics of her kids.

I still feel strongly against the war and I realize that Plouhar didn't really understand the full purpose of Moore's documentary (which I enjoyed) but I'm proud of solider's like this and I just want to say that I wish his family well. I don't know if there are any funds being started for his kids but I'll update this post when I hear/read anything.

Here is some more about Plouhar from his Myspace page:
