He's one of ours.
Aaron left last November for basic training at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. After completing basic, he remained there for his advanced training in combat engineering. He graduated March 13, 2003, and was assigned to the 16th Engineer Battalion in Giessen, Germany. He was only in Germany a few weeks when his unit was deployed to Iraq. The unit is part of the 1st Armored Division and is currently stationed in Baghdad.
Aaron’s unit is working to rebuild schools in the area. Aaron has written his family that he feels good about what they are doing there. In a recent letter home, he wrote, “Most of the civilians are happy to see us. The children will remember that the U.S. soldiers were there to protect them and to rebuild their schools and playgrounds.”
