Marine’s family hopes
for troops’ safe returns
Tonya Claxton follows news
updates about the war,
as she awaits the next letter
from son Pfc. Adam Taylor
Roman Gokhman
Campus/City Culture Reporter
When the United States attacked
Iraq, Tonya Claxton, a working
mother in Eugene, experienced
many different emotions. At first, she
watched television most of the day to
get updates, but eventually this took
a toll on her.
“The first week, I thought I was going
to have a breakdown,” Claxton said.
Since then, she has watched up
dates less frequently, but is still up
set every time she hears a Marine
has died.
Claxton’s youngest son, Pfc. Adam
Taylor, a machine gunner serving in
the 1st Marine Division, 4th Battal
ion, is now somewhere in the Middle
East—probably somewhere in Iraq.
“I feel like I have a cloud of fear
over me continually,” Claxton said.
Taylor, 19, joined the U.S. Marine
Corps in June 2002, but has been in
terested in the military since attend
ing the Pioneer Youth Corps., a mili
tary-style charter school in Eugene. He
arrived in Kuwait on Feb. 14, and Clax
ton said she thinks Taylor is now near
Saddam City, Iraq. She hasn’t heard
from him in three weeks, and doesn’t
even know if he has seen combat.
“He’s very excited and not scared
at all,” Claxton said. “He’s always
had a strong positive attitude. He
wanted the war to start to just get it
over with.”
In a letter dated Feb. 28, Taylor ex
pressed enthusiasm about the future.
“I’m sure I will see combat soon,
but I have a lot of trust in my leaders
and in my own ability — physically
and mentally. I’m not scared, so don’t
you all worry. It’s really sandy out
here, my nose is all stuffed up with
dirt — it’s awesome, yeah! ... We’ve
been told that we will be home in Au
gust or September.”
In another letter, dated March 8,
Taylor wrote that the war was about
to begin:
“Before you get this, I will have al
ready crossed into Iraq and attacked
the city. I hope the Iraqi people will
be subtle with their decisions and not
get people killed. I’m sure the attack
will be over the news. We will be only
five miles away when the bombs
strike. I believe the key word for
when the bombs strike is when Presi
dent Bush gives his speech and ends
it with ‘God bless America and God
Adam Amato Emerald
Tonya Claxton, mother of 19-year-old Pfc. Adam Taylor, a machine gunner serving
in the 1st Marine Division, 4th Battalion, wonders where her son is and when
he'll be home. In earlier letters to his mother, Taylor expressed his enthusiasm
about going into Iraq and into battle.
bless the troops.’ So if he says that,
I’m sure Iraqis will hear a big bomb.
... We took showers the other day at
Gamp Metilda — it was great, but an
hour later we were all dusty again. ”
Taylor’s oldest brother Mike Tay
lor, 21, said it is awkward having his
youngest brother fighting in Iraq be
cause he has never had anyone close
to him involved in a war before.
“Some nights I think about him a
lot, but other nights I know he is all
right,” Mike Taylor said.
Glaxton said she has not slept well
for more than three weeks, and be
sides fearing for her son’s safety, she
is also angered with the U.S. and Iraqi
governments because of their inabili
ty to coexist peacefully.
“We have come so far with tech
nology — it just seems hard that we
still have to go to war,” she said.
But she said she realizes that war
might sometimes be the only solu
tion, and she supports the American
troops and the reason the war is be
ing fought.
“I’m excited for the Iraqi people,”
she said, adding that she is pleased to
see images of Iraqi people praising
troops. “I don’t agree with war, but it
is something that has to be done.”
Still, Glaxton’s first priority is her
son, and she said she wants him to
come home as soon as possible.
“Every time they say a Marine has
been killed, your heart flips,” she
said. “Some parents have gotten the
word (that their son or daughter was
killed), and you worry you are going
to be some of those parents. It’s more
personal this time with my son being
over there,” she said.
