                Our Loved Ones' Stories PFC Robert A. Guy
He denied these allegations and stated he was guilty of improper clearing procedures. So of course, he was involved in an NJP. The most he could get out of this was...1) Lose 1/2 months pay for two months. 2) Bust him down a rank, from PFC to Private. 3) Give him 45 days extra duty (which would have been suspended, due to time served in Iraq). The day of the NJP hearing (April 21st, 2005) the Company Commander felt he wasn't qualified to dole out punishment and passed it up the chain of command to the Battalion Commander. A 1st Sgt. allegedly told him (when he signed the paper stating he understood what had taken place), "Boy, you just signed your ass away. You're getting a dishonorable and spending thirty years in Leavenworth." Later that evening he asked to see the Chaplain. He was told there was not a Chaplain on base, in order for him to speak to him they would have to get a convoy together. He was asked if it could wait until the morning. Knowing my son... not wanting to inconvience anyone and feeling he had no choice, he said "I guess so". Well, apparently it couldn't. A very short time later he went into a port-a-john and blew his brains out. Immediately all the Sgt's were called together and told 'to tell their men what had happened and to tell them there was a Chaplain available if anyone needed to speak to him'.
I received the 'Field Investigation Report'
that was so full of discrepancies. It had been almost 2 years
before I received the 'Command Investigation Report'. I've
waited so long for this report, hoping it would give me some
answers. When it came, the answers were not there. It was more
questions and more confusion than before. I want to get an
attorney, but do not know what kind of attorney I need and where
to find one. I have called everyone I can think of and all I get
is a run-around. I have written a letter to the President of the
United States, contacted my local Congressman, contacted both my
State Senators and had my son's story put in the newspaper. I
have called numerous people affiliated with the Marine Corps and NCIS and all I get is lies, promises and people who apparently
get paid to due nothing but say, "I'll check into that and get
back to you".
So many times I've wanted to set fire to the
Marine Corps flag, but as I told the newspaper people, “It flies
for Bobby and the guys who went before him and the ones who will
go after him, it damn sure don't fly for the Corps.”
Thank you for your time and any assistance you
may be able to provide.

My
son, PFC Robert A. Guy, a Marine, died on April 21st, 2005. He
allegedly committed suicide. Which I was told two months later
on the phone. He was put on Zoloft by a base doctor with no
supervision. He and two other Marines were requested to guard an
Iraqi detainee, he allegedly pointed his rifle at the detainees
head, racked the bolt and sent the bolt home. It is a matter of
record that his rifle was empty.
