I knew Cpl Parcell, she was attached to my unit in Iraq as a lioness when she was killed in the suicide blast which also took the life of our SgtMaj and one of our interpreters. The blast also killed an Iraqi Police Officer and one civilian. I spoke with her almost every day she was with us in the course of our duties. She was a good Marine and everyone enjoyed working with her. Her loss was a blow to the unit. In my opinion her efforts contributed to the success of our mission.

She was attached to my squad (Joker 1-2) as one of our lionesses while we were on ECP guard. I was there that day, she died doing what we as men couldn't, searching females. Sgt. Maj. Ellis was also killed that day, and many more wounded. They were both good Marines doing what they loved. RIP CPL. Parcell, your watch has ended, stand easy.

We were stationed in Okinawa together. I remember the 1st day she came on island. Rest in peace Devil Dog.

I will never forget her. Ever. I was in the logistics school with her. I was 25 and she was only 19 but wanted to go someplace for Easter. So we went together. We became friends. I will never forget landing in Iraq and she was one of the first people I saw on the airfield and told me she was about to go out into the province. We hugged and I prayed with her. My buddy who was the chaplain's RP saw her and was there when she passed. I was grateful to have known her.

Wow...she arrived right after I left. That was a hot time in Anbar. It took real guts to volunteer to go outside the wire - I never did. I've got all the respect in the world for female Marines and I'm so glad that they're finally getting the full respect of the rest of the world, proving themselves time and again under fire to be no better friend and no worse enemy than any other Marine. Semper Fi

I am a 60 something Marine from another era, sitting in front of my computer screen at 7 am crying like a baby. A truly nice video about a lovely young Marine. I know words mean nothing but to Corp. Parcell " Rest in Peace Marine, Semper Fi".

Cpl Parcell was the embodiment the Marine Corps motto of Semper Fidelis. She makes me proud to know she served my beloved Corps in the way she did. I salute you, and God bless you and your family.

She was attached to my unit while we were in Iraq. I was a Navy Corpsman and she was my first casualty that ran to after the suicide bomber. I never forget what i told her while trying to help her and feel that I let her down. I still remember her face and wish there was more I could do to save her. God bless her and her family.

I actually cried for her REST IN PEACE SISTER. RIP

Just seen this for the first time. I'm a former British Royal Marines Commando. Sorry for your loss USMC.

As a big brother to a Marine sister I'm proud of you. Thank you for your Heroism 🇺🇸

Thank you Cpl. Parcell and family for your sacrifices. God speed young warrior your watch has ended. We have it from here Jennifer. R.I.P Marine !!!! : (

I hope and pray people watch this story of a fellow Marine and realize the sacrifices these individuals make for their country. We are not super heroes, but common people willing to do what the majority of the public will not do because it is the right. Just because we might be soldiers, sailors, or Marines it does not mean we are not human beings first. We are simply ordinary people willing to do extraordinary things. Semper Fi Marine. You are the epitome of what makes this country great and I am glad I got to see your story. God Bless!

age 20..so young and such a beautiful woman aswell. True US Marine Semper Fi . R.I.P from England

We were in the same company in Oki. We were training to deploy to Iraq when I heard what had happened, and I went to her service at the Chapel. I deployed a few months later, yet ten years later, I'm still here.

This is one of the good things that social media, and things like youtube does. It marks these memories, and lets people know that "casualty" is not just a number. We won't for get the sacrifice.

Thank you Cpl. Parcell for the great sacrifice that you made for our great country. Your commitment to the cause of freedom has not been wasted. Thank you

Much Respect....Thank You for your service.....

I served with Jennifer in AL Asad. You are missed. Rest in Peace Marine.

Nice to see that the coments are respectfull here. A big salute to CPL. Parcell!

Rest in Peace Sister! You are a credit to all in the Corps. You wore the Red Patch well and with honor. From a Red Patch Sgt (77-84) I salute you. Prayers for the Family! SEMPER FI!

We were in blue diamond when this happened. We will remember your sacrifice and continue to honor your memory. There was an old war dog that spoke of her that day, what he said has always stuck with us. Marines don't die we just move on to our next duty station. Till we meet again at the next duty station.

You're never forgotten, and always will be remembered!!! To those who took that oath thank you for your service!!! Forever shall I call you my brothers and sisters!!! To those 44 people who disliked this video no explanation is possible for you to understand!!! To all those who liked this video, No explanation is necessary!!!

All these years later and I still remember her warm smile and contagious laugh.. Marines like Jenny are waiting inside heavens gates.

Wow I look up to her. I'm shipping off in a few months to boot camp, I'll keep her in mind through training. This is what I strive to be. Her attitude, her outlook on life, her values. What a role model.

God Bless this wonderfully selfless and heroic Marine. Her story inspires me to be a better person. Semper Fi Cpl Parcell. I just posted this video to my Facebook page and urged others to take the time to learn of your story. Rest easy.

Hard to give his documentary a thumbs up....God bless my fellow marine..may we remember all those that have served. Sgt. Valdes 1961-1965

She was an example for all Marines. Marines die it happens. As long as the Marine Corps lives, she lives. Semper Fi.

What a sad story. I am a Marine who served during the Vietnam era. It tears my insides up to read of these heroes no longer with us. Semper Fi!

R.I.P Cpl. Jennifer Parcell you will be missed

Former Navy CT, here. I served with the Navy, Marines, Army, and Coast Guard, and consider them all my brothers and sisters; it takes a piece of my soul every time I hear of one of them passing (and they're welcome to that piece...we earned it together). The fact that this young woman, this young Marine, touched so many lives, so many of whom have posted here, is a testament to who she was, and in keeping with the highest standards I've come to expect of the United States Marine Corps. Semper fi.

I had the pleasure and privilege to work with this young marine...out of HADITHA DAM IRAQ...RIP..Devil Dog..

The heck with you who dislike this amazing Marines life.

as a former Navy Corpsman who worked with the marines....semper fi cpl Parcell....woman to woman, we defended our nation, you have paved the way for more women to serve valiantly

Marines make me So Damn Proud to be An American !!!

Semper Fi Lioness!! Edit: God Bless this family for raising such wonderful children...seems many parents should take notes

RIP. I did not know you, but thank you for your service.

God bless. RIP Cpl Jennifer Parcel. Semper Fi. Thankyou for your service, your sacrafice will never be forgotten.

I was never in any branch of the military, but this brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for all that have served past present and future. I have nothing but the updo most respect for all of you.

Oorah!! Rest In Peace Marine! God Bless your family and thank you for your service!

May GOD BLESS HER AND HER ENTIRE FAMILY!! I SERVED WITH HER WHEN SHE WAS IN OKINAWA! I HAVE MANY GREAT MEMORIES WITH HER AS A FRIEND AND SISTER-IN-ARMS! SHE WILL BE MISSED!! CPL MELLO

This made me weep and cry like a baby!

Thank you for your service. Blessings to your family.

@GySgtDave, God bless you, Cpl. Parcell, the Sgt. Major, your interpreter and all affected by this blast. You all make me proud to have been a Marine. S/F, David Nixon (former 1st Lt. 1978-82)

Semper Fi, God bless you Jenny, you are a BEAUTIFUL angel now !!!

Someone once said something like this,, " Let us not Mourn for fallen heroes , but rejoice for those with courage that have gone to War,,,,,,,,, It was something like that, I have always taken solitude in this . Sempri-Fi

God bless your memory my Marine sister! Even though we never met my time was way before yours. You are still my Marine sister! SEMPER FIDELIS FOREVER! OOHRAH

I have the outmost respect for female soldiers they can kick ass trust me and there strong I got pulled on a chopper by one them when I was hit hard by an IED that took my leg god bless all my brothers and sisters

From an old army tanker, hooah and semper fi!!!!

I remember seeing her several times on AL ASAD...God Bless you "Gold Star" mom. She will live forever...Because the Marine Corps will live forever. Her blood is forever embedded in the Scarlet and Gold flag of the Corp!!!. Semper FI

God Bless the Family of this AMERICAN HERO and all the ones like her.

She's a Marine... she kept the faith... and when duty called... she was there, doing what she was trained to do. Don't count a female Marine short. They're MARINES. That's the long and the short of it. Rest in peace Corporal Parcell... thank you for your honorable service and your sacrifice, and God bless your family and friends.

You are still missed Jennifer, there are still days I cannot believe that we in bootcamp together and that you replaced my lioness group. You are always in my thoughts

Respect & heartfelt thank you...

This was posted on 06/17/2011 my comment is from 02/12/2019. I've never known anything about Jennifer... Yet... Her loss still brought me to tears. Apparently, her mother achieved HER goal... She is not only remembered... she is loved by someone that's never known anyone close to her. You can't cry for someone without first loving them. I cried... I am not ashamed. I hope her mother reads this. 💘💔💜

who is cutting onions in here...I render my salute.

Rest Peacefully little lady, my sincere sympathies to your family and Marine Corp comrades. Thank you

God bless you, RIP Marine..

Five years ago today. I'll never forget sitting in that chapel on Okinawa for her memorial.

Semper Fi and God Bless you Marine.

Love and respect to this brave Lady from the UK... America and Britain are strong together ex British Army

Ma'am, you have my utmost respect and gratitude. I agree with you in that a females can be a Marine or military member. A Marine is a Marine, and I believe that if a women can make the cut, she should go for it. Again, Thank You

I offer some balance as a lifelong supporter of the Corps. God Bless Jenny and her family.

Rip to fellow Marine and resident of Maryland. Semper Fi

Marine, Stand down, prepare to man your next post, guarding the streets of heaven. Semper Fi and Rest in Peace.. !stsgt USMC ret

Jennifer Parcell- consider the name remembered.

Rest in peace Marine. You are the true meaning of "the few, the proud".

Sempre Fi Marine. Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. You and others like you live through those that knew you and people like me that know your story. God Bless!

Made me cry too. I was deployed to Iraq 2006 bout 20 clicks south of Fallujah so I never got to see her but we did have a total of 7 death too and every time I think about Iraq it brings pain I always remember those brave Marines who sacrificed themselves. It was an absolute honor serving with them.

Semper FI, Sister. See you in formation when it's my time to go.

I'm a former deputy sheriff, and I've experienced the loss of fellow cops in my county. The rage is indescribable. Makes you want to find those responsible and make them pay very dearly.

Thank you, CPL. Parcell

You will always be remembered. God bless the family of this beautiful young Marine.

"A GREAT MARINE" - "Semper-Fi Young Marine"

The best measure of a life is how much one can touch others. Im just one in a long line to cry for the loss of this lioness. Peace and healing to those that knew her

I have a daughter who was a lioness in the Helmand province in Afghanistan around 2005-2006 I believe. She was there 4 times so I might have the years confused. She only did it for a few months but she and I took a lot of pride in that service.

Thank You for Your Service and Ultimate Sacrifice Cpl. Parcell, May You Forever Rest In Peace.

Our Marine sisters are awesome….Semper Fi

As a tired old Vietnam vet, I salute you Jenny. You have a strong family along with your former military brothers and sisters, you will never be forgotten.

An awesome tribute and remembrance for a soldier who gave her life while serving her country. May God bless Cpl Parcell, her family, and the United States of America.

I'm glad to hear of the Cpl's service, to her family Ihope you have the peace you deserve. S/F

I support and respect and honor all veterans and all troops, god bless you cpl Jennifer and family . Thank you Service 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you for your brave service and sacrifice Lioness! I am proud to be your sister Marine, and I will always remember and honor your memory.♥️🇺🇸

Semper Fi Jennifer Parcel, your in God's arms now guarding the gate of heaven, out of respect for you I have played the song Dancing in the Sky, it is a tribute to all loved one's who have given their all, God bless you Marine.

SEMPER FI... R.I.P. MARINE

Rest in peace! My heart goes out to her family and friends~

Was with 2/3 Golf company at this time. 2/4 Golf from the MEU augmented us. I recall this. Thank you Cpl Parcell. Always faithful.

Love Respect and Admiration. Sister

good for the Female soldiers, be proud, and I thank you may you rest in peace nad I support all troops male and female, god bless you all, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart

Thanks for the information!!

Thank you for sharing her story. She will not be forgotten. Mom- from my entire family, thank you for keeping us safe. We owe you a debt we can never repay, but simply to remember. We will.

From one military veteran to another, Cpl. Parcell, you were the model Marine and I offer my sincere condolences to all of your family and friends. Semper Fidelis could never ring more true for an outstanding young Marine like you.

RIP Devil Dog

God speed sister.

Many of the comments on this vid are absolutely disgusting! How many of these 14 year old trolls have one tenth the heart and guts of this young woman. I am not American but served in the uS Army from 65-68. I have the utmost respect for her and those who serve. I am sick of hearing whiners complaining about standards and women in the forces. If you guys are so tough stand the post! A gal from my home town was an infantry Capt and the first Canadian woman killed in the Ghan. Grow up! It is as Justin Trudeau said 2016!

Rest easy, Marine. You led the way. Semper Fi 🇺🇸 this old Marine salutes your sacrifice and thanks you for doing your duty. Fair winds and following seas, until Valhalla....

To all who serve I LOVE YOU. THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE.

9 years after and I find Jenny's story for the first time. My son served in Anbar 06-07.......... and remembers "hearing" of your Marines passing, when I talked to him about her. As a Devil Dog from the early 70's, I can whole hardheartedly say, the tears dropping today, fall for all lost but never forgotten fellow Marine's. We share in your loss and we also share in her amazing service. Rest easy now Marine.......I will never forget you!

Semper Fi Marine.

A big ooh rah and Semper Fi from this former Marine.
