Camp Pendleton Marine dies in Iraq
By: North County Times -
CAMP PENDLETON -- The Defense Department on Tuesday announced the death of a Camp Pendleton Marine who died in what was described only as a "nonhostile" incident.
Lance Cpl. Lance M. Clark, 21, a native of Cookeville, Tenn., died Friday in the Anbar province west of Baghdad in an incident that is under investigation.
He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division based at Camp Pendleton.
Clark is one of at least 344 locally based Marines to die in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003. In all, at least 3,762 U.S. service members have died in the Iraq war.
