"He and a lot of his fellow Marines firmly believed in their mission... They felt they were doing a lot of good and they were willing to be there. I can't say they were glad to be there, but they were happy to do what was needed." — Brett Allred, father Allred, 22, of Hyde Park, died with five other Marines, including fellow Utahn Quinn Keith, in a suicide bomb attack. Allred, a Marine Corps lance corporal, was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force, in Camp Pendleton, Calif.
