March 20, 2003

In his tiny hometown of St. Anne, Ill., Ryan Anthony Beaupre was known for his unruly red hair and easy smile. He was the type to surrender his turn on the phone to other Marines. "He cared about all the Marines," said Capt. Dale S. Rolen, who knew Beaupre at Camp Pendleton. Beaupre died in a helicopter crash March 21.
