My nephew was killed in Baqubah, Iraq by an improvised explosive device (IED) on Nov 30th. His star has turned from blue to gold.
My hope is that no other family has to experience such a tragic loss in their lives as my family has recently underwent.
My nephew was the first family member on both sides of his family that was killed in action. Both families have service connections for fighting in World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam War, Desert Storm, and Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedeom.
