Family members will remember 1st Lt. Oscar Jimenez as a role model who loved being a Marine. "Oscar was the kind of guy that you would want on your side to back you up. ... Oscar was a role model on how to live life to its fullest," a family statement said. The 34-year-old logistics officer from San Diego was killed by hostile fire in Iraq''s Anbar province on April 11. He was based at Twentynine Palms, Calif. The 14-year veteran "was a loving husband and father, a model friend and an excellent Marine," the statement said. He served in the first Iraq war. Jimenez''s 15-year-old daughter, Vanessa, wrote of carrying on in her father''s stead in a poem released by the family. "Our big family misses you very much. Especially mommy, but don''t worry I will do my best to take care of her," she wrote. Survivors also include his wife, Alejandrina, and sons Oscar, 6, and Christopher, 3.
