Insurgents killed 20-year-old Rodney J. Johnson Tuesday in Baghdad.
Everyone in his family say they're proud of him, but admitted they have mixed emotions about the war.
"He was a soldier first, but he was a family man. He has a wife (and) she's eight-months pregnant and they have a beautiful little daughter and that we're going to miss him," said Johnson’s aunt Yolanda Baker. "We know what he did what he did for his country and we love him for that."
"I know that everybody's saying that he died for his country but it was actually for nothing. What did he do? What did he prove? I mean, what is the outcome of this?" said Johnson’s grandmother Pearle Boone.
