TULSA, Okla. — Friends and family members of an Oklahoma Marine are remembering him following his death in a suicide bomb attack north of Baghdad.
Cpl. Bryan Scripsick was among several casualties in the attack in Anbar province on Sept. 6, authorities said.
Family members said Scripsick was just three weeks away from coming home from Iraq. Friends of the family said he called his parents last month on his 22nd birthday and told them he would be coming home from the war sometime in September.
His brother, Brett Scripsick, said while his brother could be tough when he had to be, he also was the “nicest and sweetest” person you could ever hope to meet.
