June 30th 2009 the 81st Enhanced Brigade Combat team lost its first soldier in our current deployment. Pfc Stone was a good kid, he never bitched and got along with everyone. He volunteered for this mission with serving his country as his only agenda. A aviation soldier by title he filled the boots of a cavalry scout in our mission to protect Civilians here in Iraq, with great success. He will be missed.
Say a prayer for this young soldier and keep him in your thoughts.
