Remembering the servicemembers who died in the service of their country.
Marine Staff Sgt. James W. Cawley
41, of Layton, Utah.
Killed during a firefight with enemy forces. He was assigned to F Company, 2nd Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division, Salt Lake City, Utah. Died on March 29, 2003.
James W. Cawley met and married his wife Miyuki while serving in the Marines on the Island of Okinawa. They have two children, a son named Cecil, age 8, and a daughter Keiko, age 6. He served for 12 years in the Marine Corps, retired and became a Salt Lake City Police Officer, Detective, and a SWAT team member. He enlisted in the Marine reserves and was called back to active duty in early 2002. He was tough, and yet very soft-hearted. He was fluent in Japanese and could read and write in Kanji. He also served as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Fukuoka Japan Mission. He was one of America's best, a truly moral, family man who loved his wife and children as well as his country. He belived in what he was doing and was supportive of efforts to free the Iraqi people of opression. He will truly be missed by his family, friends and community.
Let's remember our brothers!!!
