Dewey Lane - Map
Dewey, a 20-year-old Marine who had just graduated from
West High and was known for his toothy grin, was on patrol
northwest of Baghdad in January 2006 when a vehicle exploded
near his convoy. The explosion came a year after Dewey was
awarded a Purple Heart for surviving a suicide bombing attack.
He was the fifth Tracy soldier to die in the war at that
time.
