The stories of killed soldiers
If you have yet to read this, please do so.

Five Fort Riley-stationed soldiers who died in a single day this week in Iraq were all in their early 20s but had backgrounds as varied as their hometowns, which stretched from Idaho to Maryland.

One joined the Army looking to learn a trade. Another planned to return home later this spring to a newborn child. A third found his calling as a medic after quitting college.

They died when a homemade bomb exploded Wednesday beneath their armored personnel carrier in Habbaniyah, Iraq.
