Corporal Dustin Libby was killed during a fourhour battle in Ramadi, Iraq, in 2006. He had taken a fatal bullet to protect his platoon. #2 The Casualty Assistance Calls Program is a formal process in the Marine Corps that select Marines have to go through to notify family members of Marines killed in action. #3 I spoke to Geni Libby, Cpl. Dustin Libby’s mother, on the phone. I told her that her son had fought bravely in the face of a tough, wellorganized enemy, and that his actions had saved the lives of countless Marines in his platoon. #4 I spoke to Geni, the mother of one of my favorite Marines, Dustin, who died fighting in Afghanistan. She was extremely compassionate and caring, and I was in awe of her strength.
