Fallen Soldiers and Heroes

(1987 – 2006) PVT Heath D. Warner, age 19, of Canton, Ohio died at Al Anbar Province in Haqlaniya, Iraq on Wednesday, November 22, 2006 by an IED along with two other comrades. Heath attended Parris Island Training Depot and Camp Geier N.C. where He had been serving in Iraq since Sept 11, 2006. He was a gunner with the U.S. Marine Corp 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force, Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. As a young boy, he always wanted to serve his country. Even when given other opportunities and ways to serve his country, he decided he wanted to serve on the front line. At a young age he came to know the Lord. He is known for loving God, family and country. He had been a boy scout and taught break dancing to other kids to keep them off the street. He enjoyed reading, martial arts and taught himself Japanese and Arabic. He had a dry sense of humor and a wonderful smile. Even though his life was short lived, his impact on young people was great. Heath is survived by his parents, two younger brothers, grandparents, many aunt and uncles, and friends. Thanks Heath for fighting and defending our freedom, and for making the ultimate sacrifice so that we all may enjoy the God given freedoms of this country. We miss you and love you.
