CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. (AP) - One of the seven Marines who died in a mortar explosion during a training exercise in Nevada was from Florida.
The military late Wednesday released the names of the victims, who range in age from 19 to 26. They were part of the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force in Camp Lejeune, N.C.
One of the victims has been identified as 20-year-old Lance Cpl. David P. Fenn II, of Polk City, Fla.
The military says Fenn enlisted with the Marine Corps in June 2010. He was promoted to his current rank nine months later. Fenn, who served as a mortarman, received numerous accolades including a Combat Action Ribbon and National Defense Service Medal. He was last deployed in 2011 to Afghanistan.
