BLAIR, Thomas A. Blair (From http://projects.militarytimes.com/valor/marine-lance-cpl-thomas-a-blair/256525) Marine Lance Cpl. Thomas A.

Enemy and friendly fire contributed to the death a Broken Arrow Marine whose vehicle was struck during an attack in Iraq, a military official said. Lance Cpl. Thomas A. Blair suffered fatal wounds, when members of Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment took control of a bridge on the northern edge of Nasiriyah. Blair, 24, who was posthumously decorated for attempting to rescue nine fellow Marines, was among 18 Marines killed that day in fighting around Nasiriyah. Investigators determined that eight died from enemy fire, but they couldn’t decisively determine the cause of the deaths of 10 others, including Blair. Maj. Steve Sims, commander of the Marines’ Broken Arrow anti-tank training unit, told the Tulsa World that Blair was hit by a combination of enemy and friendly fire. Sims, who notified Blair’s mother of the investigation findings, said the friendly U.S. airstrikes were cleared by a Marine air controller, who didn’t realize that U.S. ground forces were in the area. Sims said rocket-propelled grenades fired by enemy forces “probably killed them (including Blair), but there were no witnesses to the account since all were killed.” Sims said he believes “it was a combination of enemy and friendly fire,” adding that a “Maverick” friendly fire anti-tank missile struck the vehicle occupied by Blair and other Marines. “It was hard to tell what killed all the Marines in that vehicle ... most likely it was enemy fire first, but his vehicle was struck by friendly fire. There is no question about that,” Sims said. Blair was posthumously awarded the Navy-Marine Corps Commendation Medal for his fighting that day. Blair also was awarded a Purple Heart and Combat Action Medal for his service in Iraq.

BREWER, Margaret A. Brewer (From http://www.military.com/daily-news/2013/01/08/) Retired Brig. Gen. Margaret A. Brewer, the first female general officer in the Marine Corps, died Jan. 2. She was 82. "Throughout her three decades of service to our Corps and country, she truly led from the front and helped the Marine Corps integrate women more fully into the force,’ Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Amos said in a statement he put out Monday night. “She served during an era when many thought that women had no place in the Corps, but she proved critics wrong time and again,” Amos said. “It's never easy being the first, but she was both the first female general officer and the first Director of Public Affairs and met the challenges and responsibilities of each with professionalism and grace.” Brewer was serving as the director when she retired in 1980. Brewer was born in Durand, MI, in 1930, and later moved to Baltimore, where she graduated from Catholic High School. She earned a Bachelor’s in geography from the University of Michigan in 1952 and later was commissioned a Marine second lieutenant, according to the Marine Corps History Division. Her first assignment was at the Marine Corps Air Station, El Toro, CA, where she served as a communications watch officer until June 1953. Next she served two years as an inspector-instructor of a woman Marine reserve unit in Brooklyn, NY. Follow on assignments included commanding officer of the woman Marine companies at Norfolk, Va., and Camp Lejeune, NC, platoon commander for women officer candidates at Marine Corps Base, Quantico, Va., and a woman officer selection officer with headquarters in Lexington, Ky., according to her official biography. By 1966 she was a lieutenant colonel and the public affairs officer for the 6th Marine Corps District, Atlanta, GA. Brewer next served as deputy director of women Marines at Headquarters Marine Corps. She made colonel in 1970 and subsequently was named Special Assistant to the Director, Marine Corps Education Center. In 1977, Brewer became Deputy Director of the Division of Information, Headquarters Marine Corps, after her job as Director of Women Marines was phased out as women were fully integrated into the Corps. She was promoted to brigadier general in 1978. “Brig. Gen. Brewer was an amazing and courageous woman who has left an indelible mark on the rich legacy of our Corps and she will be missed,” Amos said. “On the behalf of all Marines, we send our condolences to her family and friends."

When Brian Buesing graduated from Cedar Key High School in Florida in 2000, there were only 26 kids in the senior class. But even in a larger school, Buesing would have stood out. “He was very outgoing, the center of attention,” said Sarah Campbell, 21, a former classmate. “He always made me laugh.” The flag in front of the school flew at half-staff March 25. Local kids from kindergarten through 12th grade all attend the same school. Buesing’s sister, Ariele, is an eighth-grader. Her classmates were busy making sympathy cards. “It really hits home. We’re so sad for his family, but people here are very proud that he would choose to stand in harm’s way for them,” said Maurice Healy, guidance counselor at the school. “They’re still in shock,” friend Angie Doty said about the family. “It’s just beginning to sink in.” Buesing, 20, was raised by his stepfather, Roger Steve, who repairs boat engines. “He’s worked on my motors and probably half the town’s,” said clammer E.G. Christiansen. “His dad was really proud of Brian.” Buesing liked to crack jokes, even finding humor in Shakespeare’s Hamlet during senior English at Cedar Key High. Handsome and gregarious, he liked everyone to have a good time, pulling all the wallflowers onto the dance floor at a school function. From his sophomore year in high school, he knew he wanted to be a Marine, his guidance counselor said. After graduation, he traveled to the nearest recruiting office, about 45 miles away in Chiefland, FL, to enlist. “He was an all-American kind of guy. Just the boy next door,” Doty said.

George Buggs, 83, of Barnwell, SC, was speaking of the grandson he raised — and will now bury. But in a way, he was speaking for all those who have lost family members to the war. “We hate very much to know this,” he said. “We wish it would never have happened.” His grandson, George Buggs, 31, graduated in 1990 from Barnwell High School. The principal, Phil Flynn, said he was someone “who basically went about his business of being a good citizen.” Flynn said 28 graduates of the high school are serving in this war. Now one of them has died. Buggs was not much of a joiner in school, though in his freshman year he participated in the Junior ROTC program. “Just one of those quiet young men who sets a goal and goes toward it,” Flynn said. Buggs left a wife, Wanda, and a son, who is in the sixth grade in Barnwell.
