Marine Lance Corporal Jose Gutierrez 22 Lomita, California Killed in action in southern Iraq. He was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Camp Pendleton, California. Died on March 21, 2003. He was the first casualty of war in Iraq, it was later found that he was killed not by enemy fire but friendly fire. He was an orphan on the streets of Guatemala City who heard about America from the minister at a children's shelter; at the age of 14, by walking and jumping freight trains, he made his way to California, where he was brought up in foster homes. He joined the Marines to make money for college-and to send to a sister in Guatemala. "Pray for all of us, not just me," he wrote his foster mother on March 1.
