28 years old from Wolf Creek, Montana
3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force
July 29, 2006
Marine Cpl. Phillip E. Baucus was the nephew of Montana Senator Max Baucus. He joined the corps in 2002 and was sent to Iraq in March of 2006.
Cpl. Baucus was killed alongside fellow Marines Sgt. Christian Williams, 27 yrs old from Winter Haven, Fla., Lance Cpl. Anthony E. Butterfield, 19 yrs old from Clovis, Calif. and LCPL Jason Hanson from Forks, Washington during combat operations in Al Anbar province.
"Phillip was an incredible person, a dedicated Marine, a loving son and husband, and a proud Montanan and American," Sen. Baucus said. "He heroically served the country he loved and he gave it his all."
These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived

Thank you so much for this tribute to my husband. I do have a couple things that need to be fixed. Phillip deployed in March of 2006, not 2005. He was killed with three other men, not two. LCPL Jason Hanson was killed also. Thank you again. Kathy Baucus
