NEW WINDSOR, N.Y. — A Marine from the Hudson Valley died in Iraq this week after a roadside bomb exploded, his family said.
Cpl. Joseph Tremblay, 23, of New Windsor, N.Y., joined the Marine Corps after graduating from high school in 1999. After serving four years, he remained in the Reserve and volunteered for active duty so he could go to Iraq.
“He felt that all his brothers were there and he wasn’t,” his father Lawrence Tremblay said. “What got to him ... was the kids and the people over there not having anything. He had a very, very big heart.”
The Department of Defense hasn’t released details on Tremblay’s death and his West Virginia-based unit wasn’t immediately available. The family was notified Wednesday. His mother lives in Corbin, Ky.
Tremblay was with the 3rd Marine, 25th Battalion out of West Virginia....
