Fallen Heroes of Operation Iraqi Freedom

"Rest, Brother ...Rest. S/F"
Paiz [3d LAAD] of Georgia

"I met Brownsfield in 29 stumps after I had gotten back from Iraq. We talked about what it was like over there. We drank beer and laughed. Laughed our asses off. He was so much fun to be around. Full of life. Wish I got to know him better and it broke my heart to hear. It’s Memorial Day 2022, still think about him. I wrote a song soon after I heard the news. I pray for his family.

"Its taken me 17 years to write this. I was in Al-Asad Air base when we were hit. I helped pick up, watched him in surgery and then med-evaced Crosby. I will never forget that night Cpl Brownfield was killed and Crosby was wounded. I live and breath it everyday. God bless you and your family and just know they will never be forgotten. Semper Fi

"Thank you Andy for all you gave beyond what many of us are still here for. You are a brother in our beloved corps. Served in twenty-nine palms right next door to MWSS 374 as I was in VMU1. WE both went on advanced parties in 2004 with the 3rd marine aircraft wing. I was getting to EAS when I heard of the attack heading back to the states. I observed you as fallen and the sacrifice has stuck in my mind to this day forever embedded in my life of of the sacrifices of a warrior. I see you gave it all in the marines and in the reality of freedom and more in life. You are always a hero remembered by those who recognized what it was to be a hero (MARINES). Semper Fi brother. I just think about you a lot and feel maybe you are hearing me in my respect for your sacrifice."

SSgt James Daab of Phoenix AZ

"I remember that night like it was yesterday I was on tower when the rockets came in in front of us I was the one on the radio telling B doc where they were landing, I didn't learn of cpl. Brownfields passing until many hours later when we were finally off post, that night haunts me, I keep wondering if I could have realized what was going on sooner and notified bdoc sooner would it have made a difference. Hours after the rocket attack there was a firefight at the next tower between QRF and the enemy I would like to think that we got them. To the family I will never forget Cpl. Brownfield and my prayers are with you."

"I served with Andrew at 29 Palms. Spent to many good nights in his room with him and his roommate, my best friend Mitchelldyer, drinking and watching movies. I deployed to Iraq with Andrew in 2004 with MWSS 374. I was at Korean Village when I heard I lost my brother. Andrew you are never forgotten! To his family, he will always be a part of my thoughts until my last breath when I see him again on the other side. SEMPER FI MARINE"

"TO ANDREWS FAMILY THANK YOU FOR YOUR SACRIFICES! I THINK ABOUT ANDREW EVERY MEMORIAL DAY. I KNEW HIM BRIEFLY FROM SLEEPING ABOUT TWO COTS AWAY FROM HIM FOR THE TIME WE SPENT IN KUWAIT BEFORE IRAQ. YOUR FAMILY LOST A SON, WE LOST A FELLOW MARINE BROTHER, AND THE WORLD LOST A GOOD PERSON. HE PASSED DOING WHAT HE LOVED AND IM SURE MANY OF US WHO WERE THERE KNOW IT COULD HAVE BEEN ANY OF US. To GET BY OUT THERE. YOU SIMPLY HUMBLE YOURSELF WITH THE FACT THAT YOU MAY NOT MAKE IT HOME AND YOU LIVE THAT TIME WITH ONLY THE CONCERN OF THE JOB AT HAND! WE DID WHAT WAS EXPECTED OF US AND ANDREW WAS NO DIFFERENT. WE HAD A SENSE OF SECURITY ON THE BASE BEFORE THAT NITE. BUT AFTERWARDS EVERYONE OF US KNEW THAT WASNT THE CASE. I SPENT OVER A YEAR OUT THERE AND I THOUGHT ABOUT ANDREW ALOT. I FEEL VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS AND I JUST WANTED TO REACH OUT SOMEHOW AND SAY THANK YOU! EVEN AFTER ALL THIS TIME HE IS NOT FORGOTTEN ONE BIT! OORAH! MARINE!

SSgt Shawn Boyd of Beaufort, SC

"Hey bro,
I've never met you face-to-face, but I've trained with you, endured austere conditions with you, labored in working parties with you and more importantly rode-in on the same convoy with you. I've probably even waited in the same port-a-john line with you. Although we've never met, I will never forget the pain I felt with the news of your passing, nor the anger and rage that followed. To this day I carry those feelings deep inside, along with the memories of the events that led up to that fateful night. I've learned how to cope and still face difficulties; as a result I am learning how to live. Because of that, you too will live, in my memories and never be forgotten. oorah Devil-Dog, oorah"

"Schwagg, I know you still look over us every single day of our lives. I can feel you from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed at night. I still cry when I think about what happened. In honor of you I named my son Andrew David Lopez. Because if I was going to name my son after anyone is wasn't going to be me; it was going to be the Marine who kept his dad out of trouble most of the time. I'll never forget the good times at the barracks, at J-Tree, or even at the shop. MISS YOU BRO. SEMPER FIDELIS, IYAOYAS"

AL of Southern California

"In 2004, I deployed to IRAQ as the acting SGTMAJ for MALS-16 and Cpl Brownfield was attached to my unit as an Ordnance support augmentee from 29 Palms, Ca. However, Cpl Brownfield and I never personally met each other, but I will never forget the horrific night that he lost his life. There was a bit of kaos, a lot of nevervousness, and a whole lot of anger towards the insurgents that dared to take the life of one of our fellow Marines. We had only officially taken over from the Army's, 82 Airborne Division, three days before this trumatic event. Therefore, after that very night, every Marine in my unit, and other unit's aboard Camp AL ASAD new that this was not an exercise, but a real combat situation. After that night, I also found out that Cpl Brownfield was very much admired by his fellow Ordnance community and I very much respected the way they all truly showed grievance and vigilance at the same time. Ordnance had also suffered the loss of Cpl Crosby, who was severely wounded during this very same mortar attack, and there were others, but I'm sorry to say that I can only remember Cpl Flemming who spent time at MALS-16 HQ during his long recovery. None the less though, my deepest regrets and condolences go out to Cpl Brownfield's family, because I am still very hurt, and very saddened that he was unable to return from IRAQ with the units he volunteered to support and defend. Cpl Brownfield, you will always be honored and remembered. Semper Fidelis Marine."
MGySgt R. Martin, USMC Retired of San Diego, Ca.

"Andy, I just wanted to let you know that I kept my promise man. My son, Andrew William Cook, was born November 23rd 2007. He is a fireball of energy. I sometimes catch myself looking at him and I am reminded of you brother. As soon as I can figure out how to leave a picture on here I'll post one of him. Take care man."

"Andy,
I don't know what to say, man. You were my brother. We came in the Corps together; went to our MOS schools together, and were very close friends. I think about you all the time. Sometimes, I put on my uniform and remember our time in Iraq. I remember our conversation on the truck. I will never forget. I miss you man. Thanks for everything. It was a priviledge to serve with you. Semper Fidelis."
Sgt Stephen S. O'Rourke of Cherry Point, NC

"I was on the medical staff that day when Andy was injured at Al Asad. Our Navy team worked diligently to try and save him. We were very upset and to this day I will never forget him and the contributions he made. If his family reads this I want them to truly know that we did everything we could. Although it has been 4 years I still think of him and wonder how his fiancee and family are. I have wanted to write them a letter but have no idea how to reach them. Despite the many casualties incurred in Iraq it is important to remember the individuals and how their life affected others.....CPL Brownfield will always be in my prayers. My sincerest condolences go out to his family and friends who knew him in a way that I never will. God Bless, Doc R"
Doc R of Germany

"Andy, I'm sorry it has taken me so long to finally leave a message. That night will forever be with me. I sometimes wake up at night and wonder if you are still looking over us man. I'm sorry that the last conversation with you was an argument. Also wanted to let you know that I am naming my first born son after you, he will be born in December. Love you man."

"March 18th 2004 was a day that I will never forget. I was stationed at TQ. A forward operating base not to far from Al-Asad. That day we got word from our staff NCO's that Al-Asad had been hit. They said that they knew someone was dead, but not who or how many were injured. That was the day when reality hit my life. To know that I was just there, issued the same truck that was drivin on that day. Before having to leave for TQ in advance. That evening as the sun was setting, and the mosque could be heared in the distance. We were changing gaurd and on our way to our tents. That not to soon after as we sat on our cots, we recieved a volly of mortars in and around our camp. Not knowing what was incoming and what was outgoing. I knew right then and there that my life and my prospective on it, would never be the same. As the years have gone by and with a second tour to Iraq in 2005 to 2006. I have always been humbled by the sacrifice of Cpl. Brownfield and by the heavy payment for war by those who were injured along side him. I pray for Andrew's family. And for Crosby, that one day he may walk agian and to never loose his spirit. If theres any way I could visit Andrew's family and go to where he is resting. I would be please to know that I have fully paid my respects."

"My husband and I were both in MWSS 374 with Cpl Brownfield. My husband, Sgt Fernandez, also an ordnanceman, trained him when he first arrived to 29 Palms. He remembers him as a hard worker, Outstanding Marine, and friend. I remember him as always making everyone laugh.

I know he is watching over his family and friends & entertaining those above."

"I remember the day we arrived in Al Asad. We were walking around base, going to the chow hall, internet tents, exchange. It seemed so safe on this base. Then, March 18th came. (at the time we were told that Cpl Brownfield was the first Marine to die in OIF II, later that day several more Marines died throughout Iraq). A week later we lost LCpl Jeffrey C. Burgess, who was an M.P. assigned to MWSS-374, TAD from MWSS-373. The war became even more real to us then. You both are missed. Semper Fidelis my brothers."

I wanted to take a moment on this day (Memorial Day) to say thank you. I am fortunate in that I do not know the depth of your pain, but I share in the loss of Cpl. Brownfield, as an American soldier.

Our prayers go out to all of you and please know that this soldier is remembered today by name.

It is ofton said that these soldiers pay the ultimate price, I believe that it is the parents, family and friends that pay the ultimate price with their loss. I am a parent and I would surely give my life a thousand times over to avoid the loss of my children.

This young man showed the meaning and spirit of being an American.

His life makes us all, as Americans, walk a little prouder today.

Thank you and our prayers are with you.

One last thing...I stood in the funeral procession of this young Marine. As his mother drove by us, she was thanking us for being there. I would like to personally tell her THANK YOU! We owe you and your son a debt that we can never repay."
