Obituary
Send FlowersDavid Ries was a committed Marine reservist of more than a decade, and friends were not surprised when he volunteered to return to Iraq after already completing a six-month stint. "He believes in what this country stands for and the general purpose that we''re there ... to give other people a shot of making their own choices," said Brent Loper, a childhood friend who ran cross-country with him in high school. Ries, 29, of Vancouver, Wash., died Nov. 8 when his vehicle was struck by an improvised explosive device. His unit was based in Portland, Ore. Ries worked security jobs at an airport and a shopping center, and friends said he hoped one day to get a job in corrections or with Portland police. Loper said Ries never complained about his Iraq experience. "I figured at one point he would be up to talking about it," Loper said. "I never expected not to have another chance to talk to him." Ries is survived by his wife, Mandy, and two young children.

To the family of Staff Sgt David G. Ries: My husband Retired GySgt Eugene J. Sempek Jr was with David on that life-altering day. He and David had worked together and developed a close friendship. In honor of your fallen husband, son, etc., our 3 yr old son is named David Eugene Sempek. David was the only name that was ever considered and I think about the reason quite often. I just always wanted your family to know that your David influenced many lives. God bless, Eugene, Tawn, Joey &...
