Staff Sgt. Danny P. Dupre of Lockport, Louisiana was killed in action on July 15th in the Al Anbar province of Iraq while supporting combat operations for Operation Iraqi Freedom. He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 9th Marines, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force out of Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

Sgt. Dupre was just 28 years old. He was shot while gathering intelligence for his squad in Ramadi, about 70 miles West of Baghdad, hit behind the ear by a sniper's bullet while on a classified mission.

He was deployed overseas to Iraq and Afghanistan four times.

Sgt. Dupre is survived by his wife Crystal, their 3-year-old son Daniel, and the rest of his family. Please keep them and Danny's friends and fellow Marines in your thoughts and prayers.

This fine young man was my son-in-law by law, but like my son. He was a Marine's Marine and he was so proud of his job, his kids that he served with and stood with honor in the Marine uniform! I and we were blessed to have him in our family. Not one day goes by without speaking of him, more often than not with a smile or a chuckle. Danny, your son talks of you all the time, and misses you terribly. He often tells his Nana, you did a dee ta dee. Sound familiar. I know you are there looking over him every minute of the day and we can see that in the silent moments of the day. We love and miss you so much. Hey, Danny, keep a look-out over Gavin until he is safely home from Iraq this summer. I love and miss you soooo much!

I went to High School with Danny and haven't seen him since but we did keep in touch, especially a lot right before his death. He talked about seeing his son and how he couldn't wait for Christmas. I took this news so much harder than I thought, and I still think about him all the time. When I get back to louisiana I will visit so I can finally get some closure and say goodbye. Love you my friend.
