The Taps for Veterans community mourns the loss of U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Chukwuemeka E. Oforah, who was declared dead after going overboard from the USS Iwo Jima—following an extensive search in the Caribbean.

Lance Cpl. Oforah’s death is the first U.S. military death associated with Operation Southern Spear, the president’s military operation in the Caribbean.

Behind every headline is a young life, a proud uniform, and a family whose world has changed forever. Today we pause—quietly, reverently—and we remember this Marine and the shipmates who searched, hoped, and stood watch.

May we remember and never forget 🇺🇸🎺

On this Valentine’s Day, we honor the Marines whose courage, loyalty, and unbreakable bonds remind us what love in its highest form truly looks like. The love of country, the love of Corps, and the love we carry for one another as Marines—past, present, and always.
May today be a reminder that the strength of our sisterhood and brotherhood is one of the greatest gifts we share. Semper Fidelis, and Happy Valentine’s Day to all who have worn the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor.
