I served with CPT Rapicault's brother-in-law in Iraq... felt I knew him but never had the priviledge of meeting him.
CPT Rapicault, 34, of St Augustine Fl died in combat on 15 NOV 04 in Al Anbar Province, Iraq. This was his second tour in the sandbox, he was wounded in his first and was more than ready to go back and fight again.
He served with 2nd BN, 5th Marines, 1st MARDIV, 1st Marine Expeditionary Force out of Pendleton. He loved the Corps and his Marines loved him, Ollie North did a wonderful feature on his heroism and service on FoxNews soon after he was KIA.
Great American, great Marine.
