MINONG, Wis. (AP) -- A Marine from northern Wisconsin is being remembered by his school counselors as someone with a big heart who wanted to help others.
The Pentagon says 20-year-old Lance Corporal Harry Timberman of Minong died Saturday from wounds suffered in combat operations in Al Anbar province.
Paul Lake is a counselor at Northwood High School, and he says Timberman moved to Minong from Colorado with his mother in 2001 and enrolled in Northwood High School as a sophomore.
He wrestled for the Evergreens, but received his high school diploma from Washburn County Alternative High School in Shell Lake in 2004.
Lake says Timberman visited Northwood High School last Christmas and was very proud to be a Marine.
He was sent to Iraq in January.
He is the 70th soldier or Marine from Wisconsin killed in Iraq since the U.S. invasion in March 2003.
