    A Marine with 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 2, places the dog tags of Sgt. Ian Tawney on a battlefield memorial at a farewell ceremony, Oct. 30. Lance Corporals Joseph Rodewald, 22, Phillip Vinnedge, 19, Victor Dew, 20, and Cpl. Justin Cain, 22, with Weapons Company were killed in action, Oct. 13, and Sgt. Ian Tawney, 25, with Lima Company was killed in action, Oct. 16. The ceremony was marked by Bible verses, prayers and personal reflections honoring the lives of the fallen warriors. Final Roll was called three times for each of the five Marines, only to be answered by silence. Taps followed in a final farewell.
