It has over a year since I've had a 24 hour blog silence to remember a NC National Guardsman.... today there were 4.... the flood of memories makes me feel a bit raw.... and I shed tears for the mamas whose babies won't come home....
As always comments are open to remember... My next post will be July 4th....
The Department of Defense announced today the death of four soldiers who were supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom. They died from wounds suffered when an improvised explosive device detonated near their vehicle June 29, in Baghdad,
Iraq. They were assigned to the 120th Combined Arms Battalion, Wilmington, N.C.
Killed were:
Sgt. 1st Class Edward C. Kramer, 39, of Wilmington, N.C.
Sgt. Roger L. Adams Jr., 36, of Jacksonville, N.C.
Sgt. Juan C. Baldeosingh, 30, of Newport, N.C.
Spc. Robert L. Bittiker, 39, of Jacksonville, N.C.
For more information media may contact the North Carolina Army National Guard public affairs office at (919) 664-6242.
pray for the troops... and those who grieve...
Thank you for remembering these soldiers and their families. Please pray for the soldiers left behind in the 30th Brigade as well. My husband is one of them this makes their total soldiers lost 7 since arriving in April. Thank you to all who protect our freedoms and Happy Birthday to the Red, White and Blue.
