Thee Marine Corps generals pay final respects to seven fallen U.S. servicemembers from the Camp Pendleton, Calif.-based 1st Marine Logistics Group during a memorial service at Camp Al Asad, Iraq. From left to right are: Maj. Gen. Richard C. Zilmer, commanding general for I Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward), Maj. Gen. David F. Bice, inspector-general of the Marine Corps, and Brig. Gen. David G. Reist, commanding general for 1st Marine Logistics Group. Hundreds of U.S. Marines, sailors, soldiers and civilians attended a memorial service for the seven fallen U.S. servicemembers, who died earlier this month due to a vehicle accident in western Al Anbar Province, Iraq. Following the memorial service, Marines, many in tears, approached the seven-rifle display to pay final respects and give final, silent 'good-byes' to friends lost. Some took photographs from afar of the memorial display, while others touched the boots or gripped the dog tags -- eyes closed and heads bowed -- to offer silent prayers. All seven fallen Marines and sailor were part of the Camp Pendleton, Calif.-based 1st MLG. A memorial service for an eighth Marine, who was with the Hawaii-based 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment and was killed in the same accident, was held at the Marines' base in Haditha last week.
