W. Warwick Marine had just started 2nd tour in Iraq

Marine Cpl. Brian St. Germain had been back in Iraq for about two months when he was killed, according to his family.

St. Germain, a former track star for West Warwick High School, worked as a mechanic for the Marines, according to his uncle, Terrence Adamo, who spoke to The Journal this afternoon at St. Germain's mother's home in West Warwick, where family members were gathered.

He initially joined in 2002, after a brief stint at the University of Rhode Island, and began his second tour of duty in February. St. Germain liked the Marines and planned to re-enlist for another four years, Adamo said.

The 22-year-old Marine died Sunday when the vehicle in which he was riding rolled over in Al Anbar Province during a flash flood.
