In Memory of: Staff Sgt.
Marcus A. Golczynski
U.S. Marine Staff Sgt. Marcus A. Golczynski, 30, was shot by enemy fire and died Tuesday in Iraq while on his second tour of duty.
Golczynski, also known as "Sergeant Ski," was assigned to Marine Forces Reserve's Third Battalion, 24th Marine Regiment, Fourth Marine Division, Nashville. He had been set to return home by Easter, friends said.
In a recent e-mail, the Marine expressed some of his feelings about his service in Iraq.
"We are warriors," he wrote. "And as warriors have before us, we joined this organization and are following orders because we believe what we are doing is right. Many of us volunteered to do this a second time due to our deep desire to finish the job we started. We fight and sometimes die, so our families don't have to."
He is the son of Elaine Huffines of Lewisburg TN. and Henry Golczynski of Murfreesboro TN. Fay and Henry Golczynski, owners of Franklin Printworks in Murfreesboro, received the news late on Tuesday. Golczynski leaves an 8-year-old son, who lives with his mother in Maryland.
Our hearts and prayers go out to the Huffines family and the Golczynski family. In Memory of: Sgt.
Charles Allen Drier 28, of Tuscola, Mich.; assigned to the 1st Battalion, 76th Field Artillery, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, Fort Stewart, Ga.; killed May 24 when an improvised explosive device detonated near his Humvee in Baghdad. Our hearts and our prayers go out to Sgt. Drier's family.
