Local Marine Killed In Iraq
![]() |
November 21, 2005 -- A Lower Valley family is mourning the death of a local Marine, Miguel Terrazas.
His family sent KFOX a picture with a short e-mail attached that read what a proud Marine he was and that his family will miss him very much.
"When I heard about the news this morning, I feel for his family, his mom, his wife if he had one," said Lisa Fahey, whose husband is serving in Iraq.
Lisa Fahey doesn't know Terrazas, but because she has a loved on serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom, she can relate to the loss.
"When you hear a soldier has been killed, it's an indescribable feeling. It's almost like you get shivers down your back," said Fahey.
What also send shivers down Lisa's back is the timetable when troops will be coming home.
On Monday, Vice President Dick Cheney addressed remarks from a congressman criticizing the war in Iraq.
"Recently my friend and former colleague, Jack Murtha, called for a complete withdrawal of American forces serving in Iraq and a draw down to begin at once. I disagree with Jack and believe his proposal would not serve the best interest of this nation," said Cheney.
Lisa says she's in the middle ground. She says she supports the military and has confidence in the Bush administration. She hopes bringing troops back home will be part of the president's plan.
"That maybe it is time to start pulling out, because all we're doing is hurting more of our own and we need to take care of that. No more deaths for anyone," said Fahey.
