Four Marines and a sailor were slain in the attacks on military facilities in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Some of them had deployed overseas and seen battle, others had not.

Here is a look at the victims:

RANDALL SMITH

As the nation mourned the Marines, Smith, a logistics specialist in the U.S. Navy, clung to life in a hospital after suffering critical wounds in the attacks. He died early Saturday, two days after a gunman opened fire at a Marine-Navy center and a recruiting office several miles away.

Smith grew up in the northwest Ohio city of Paulding and joined the military after attending college in Ohio, his grandmother Linda Wallace said before his death. He was married and had three young daughters.
