The four U.S. Marines killed in yesterday's attack on two military recruiting centers in Chattanooga, Tennessee have been identified:
Gunnery Sgt. Thomas Sullivan, 40, of Springfield, Massachusetts, who was deployed twice to Iraq and fought in the Battle of Abu Ghraib in 2005.
Staff Sgt. David Wyatt, 37, who lived in Chattanooga and served in Iraq, Afghanistan and South Korea.
Sgt. Carson Holmquist, originally from Wisconsin, who lived in Jacksonville, NC and served in Afghanistan.
Lance Cpl. Skip Wells, 21, of Marietta, Georgia, who briefly attended Georgia Southern University.
Lance Cpl. Wells was a reservist. The other three were on active duty. I regret not being able to learn Sgt. Holmquist's age.

UPDATE: The Daily Mail has more about the four fallen Marines, and reports Sgt. Holmquist's age as 27.
