His sister, Kati, said that L-Cpl Daniels had joined the Marine Corps less than two years ago and was trained in bomb disposal.
"I just didn't believe it because he was only there for a month and a half and he just got an award for digging up a bomb, and then this happened. And I didn't want to believe it when (the Marines) came to our house," she told reporters.
To the family of LCpl. Daniels, I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for the service of your son/brother/loved one. I pray that God will hold you in His arms during this most difficult journey and that He will direct your steps and bring peace that only He can.
