    Cpl. Jonathon Davis, Lance Cpl. Armondo Mendoza and Cpl. Logan Riddle, bow in prayer at the battlefield monument of Lance Cpl. Ralph J. Fabbri, during a memorial ceremony held at Camp Leatherneck, Oct. 18. Fabbri, 20, was killed in action, Sept. 28, while on patrol in the Sangin District. The three Marines eulogized the Altoona, Pa., native, who was a 1st Marine Division (Forward) combat cameraman attached with India Company, 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines. “It did not matter where we were, or what we were doing. He was right there in the middle of it snapping away,” said Davis, a fellow attachment with 3/7, from 4th Combat Engineer Battalion. “I am proud to have known him, and honored to have served with him. Rest in peace, brother, I know you are in a better place.”
