First U.S. Marine Killed in Action

[NewSc2]

CNN.com main page is reporting... not much besides a blurb in the main text -

A U.S. Marine was killed in action Friday, becoming the first U.S. combat casualty of the war, Marine officials said. Authorities have not released any details, except that the Marine was a member of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, which was one of the first units to enter Iraq at the start of the ground war.
