Marine Pvt. Lewis T. D. Calapini, 21, of Waipahu, Hawaii
Calapini died January 23, 2006 from a non-hostile vehicle accident near Al Taqaddum, Iraq.
He was assigned to Anti-Terrorism Battalion, 4th Marine Expeditionary Brigade, II Marine Expeditionary Force, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
A 21-year-old man from Waipahu was killed in Iraq yesterday in what the U.S. Department of Defense is describing as a "non-hostile vehicle accident" near Al Taqaddum.
Pvt. Lewis T.T. Calapini, 21, was one of two Marines who were killed in the collision, Defense Department officials said
Calapini and the other Marine were assigned to the Anti-Terrorism Battalion, 4th Marine Expeditionary Brigade, II Marine Expeditionary Force out of Camp Lejeune, N.C.
The accident was under investigation.
Born in Banqui, Philippines.
Calapini is survived by his parents, Orencio and Helen Grace Calapini; older brother, Marvin; and grandparents, Filipinas Basug, Amado and Veronica Duquez, and Adela Arucan. Family members requested privacy.
Sgts. Christopher Piazza and Terence D'Alesandro thought of times spent with 21-year-old Marine Pvt. Lewis T.D. Calapini while escorting his casket home to Hawai'i from Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.
"He was an excellent Marine, a morale booster who always had a smile on his face," Piazza said. "He gave up everything he could — his life. It's the ultimate sacrifice when you die for your country."
A native of Laoag, Philippines, who lived in Waipahu, Calapini was killed Jan. 23 in Iraq near Al Taqaddam in a vehicle accident while serving with the Anti-Terrorism Battalion, 4th Marine Expeditionary Brigade, II Marine Expeditionary Force, from Camp Lejeune, N.C.
Calapini graduated from the Hawai'i National Guard Youth Challenge Academy and joined the Marine Corps in May 2004. He enjoyed playing basketball and practicing tae kwon do. His second tour in Iraq began Oct. 3, 2005.
