WACO, Texas — A 21-year-old Marine from Waco died during an ambush while on routine patrol in Iraq, the Department of Defense announced June 15.
Lance Cpl. Johnny R. Strong, who had dreamed of being a Marine most of his life, died June 12 in the Anbar province.
He joined the Junior ROTC during his school years.
His mother, Jacqueline Williams, described him as a quiet, stay-at-home son who changed in his late teens.
“I finally said, ‘Go make some friends,’ and that’s when he really flourished,” she said.
Strong described himself as “just a regular person trying to make friends” on his MySpace profile, which he last updated June 8.
