Pittsburgh-area Marine is killed in Iraq
The Philadelphia Inquirer
PITTSBURGH - A Marine from the Pittsburgh area has been killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq, his family said.
Infantry Capt. Todd M. Siebert, who would have turned 35 next month, was killed while on patrol Friday near Anbar Province, according to his brother-in-law, Glenn Ridenour.
Siebert, who served with the Third Battalion of the Sixth Marines, was deployed to Iraq in January after visiting his family at Christmas, Ridenour said. He had previously spent 10 days in Iraq and also served in Afghanistan in 2001, after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Siebert grew up in Franklin Park, about 15 miles north of Pittsburgh. He enlisted in the Marines in 1992.
For the last decade, Siebert lived at Camp Lejune, N.C., with his wife, Darcy, and their 9-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son. - AP
