Michael Scarborough was not intimidated by danger. He volunteered for Force Recon, an elite group trained to do reconnaissance work in some of the world''s most dangerous places.
"He was in 13 countries last year," said his father, Mike Scarborough. "He went in after the Bali terrorist attack. He loved what he did."
Michael Scarborough, 28, of Washington, Ga., was among the Marines killed by a car bomb Oct. 30 in Anbar province, Iraq. He was stationed at Marine Corps Base, Hawaii.
"We talked to him 10 days ago and he said it''s the most dangerous place in the world right now," his father said. "Evidently it was."
Scarborough was about three weeks into his second tour in Iraq.
"He was a fine fellow, he loved to fish and hunt. Just enjoyed life like most young men do," his father said.
The Marine is also survived by his mother, Phyllis Scarborough.
