 Killed in Baghdad, Iraq, when an improvised explosive device detonated near their HMMWV. 

This is a picture of my husband, SPC Marlon A. Bustamante. He was holding his daughter Annalyse. His unit deployed to Iraq over a month before he did, because he was allowed to stay behind to see his daughter born. She was just hours old in this photo. He deployed when she was two weeks old. She was 3 1/2 months old when he was killed. I would appreciate it if you would put his picture with his name so that people can see why it is that soldiers fight. They fight so that we all can have moments like these. Thank you very much. --Danielle Bustamante
