Commander among 3 Marines killed in blast
Posted: 01:46 PM ET
(CNN) — One of the three Marines slain Thursday in Iraq served as a battalion commander who led more than 1,000 troops and was one of the highest-ranking American officers to die in the war-torn country this year.
Lt. Col. Max A. Galeai, 42, of Pago Pago, American Samoa, was commanding officer of the Hawaii-based 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, the Marines said.
Along with Galeai, an Army colonel and a Marine lieutenant colonel died in attacks this spring, according to information from the Pentagon.
