My son, Lance Corporal Brandon C. Dewey, was killed in action January 20, 2006
in Haqlaniyah, Iraq, Al Anbar Province while serving in the United States Marine
Corp. He was killed by a suicide vehicle borne IED. This was his second tour of
duty in Iraq and his second Purple Heart. He received his fist Purple Heart in
2004 when he was injured by shrapnel from two suicide car bombs. He was 20
years old. Brandon was raised in Tracy, California and graduated from Merrill
West High School in 2003. He enlisted the USMC in 2003, and had his first tour of
duty in June 2004 and returned January 2005. His second tour in Iraq began in

Dewey, is currently serving in the US Navy.
Brandon’s goal was to follow in his fathers footsteps and become a Police
Officer. At his funeral he was appointed as an Honorary Police Officer with the
Union City Police Department, California, and we were presented with his
badge.
