Arizona Marine Killed in Action
It is my sad duty report that another Marine has fallen, killed in action in Afghanistan. 23-year-old Lance Cpl. Alejandro Yazzie was killed last month while supporting combat operations in Helmand province, Afghanistan, site of a major offensive by U.S. and Afghan forces against the Taliban.
Small consolation to the family of Cpl. Yazzie who was from the small Navajo community of Rock Point, just a short drive from where I live in NE Arizona. He is the 11th Navajo warrior to have been killed in action in Iraq and Afghanistan since this nonsense started way back in 2001. Cpl. Yazzie was a combat engineer brother who had been attached to the 1st Combat Engineer Battalion, 1st Marine Division, 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, Camp Pendleton, CA.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and the Navajo Nation.
