MADISON, Wis. -- A Monona Marine injured in Iraq has died.

Chad Simon family
Staff Sgt. Chad Jerome Simon, 32, died Thursday afternoon. He suffered a brain injury when he was injured by a roadside bomb in Fallujah last November.

He was moved to hospice care in Fitchburg last month, and had his feeding tube removed two weeks ago.

His wife Regina says she was carrying out the wishes of his living will.

In addition to his wife, Simon is survived by a son, Dylan, parents Jerry Simon and Carol (Harbort) Parham and sister Stacy Simon, also grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.

He is the recipient of the Purple Heart, the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal (three times) and a Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal.

3. They don't care about America
or its people. Only their international profits. Fascists.

2. The media often forgets about the severely wounded that later die
So much disability and life long consequences from this ill conceived war for all directly involved

and all of the other Reps who used the Schiavo case as a political stepstool.
