Rememberance
Ofcr Cullins was on military leave assigned to the 1st Explosive Ordnance Disposal Company, 1st Marine Logistics Group, Marine Expeditionary Force. His unit was responsible for going out and dismantling or detonating IED’s. In the first 10 months of 2010 132 Marines had been killed in Afghanistan and 18 killed in October alone.
