Indianapolis Star -- Pfc. Anthony P. Seig would have marked his 20th birthday next week. Instead, the 2005 graduate of East Central High School in St. Leon, Ind., died in Iraq without making it out of his teens.
Monday, his family in Sunman, Ind., about 30 miles west of Cincinnati, gathered with friends to install a flag pole in the front yard. In the cement base, they inscribed his birth date and the day he died -- Saturday -- before hoisting an American flag to half-staff.
"He's certainly our hero,'' said his aunt, Vicki Jenkins. "He was very proud to serve his country. He felt very strongly about serving his country.''
Seig joined the Army shortly after graduating from high school and left for Iraq June 24. He recently had spoken to his girlfriend and the two had talked about marriage.
"It was a happy conversation," his mother, Linda Seig, said Monday.
"He took great pride in being an MP," she said. "He felt like what he was doing was important and it mattered."


Seig was assigned to the 16th Military Police Brigade, based at Fort Bragg, N.C.
Called Tony by his family and friends, the high school football player was bright, quick-witted and had a gift for telling and writing stories, his aunt said.
For now, the family is in disbelief, still awaiting details of Seig's death from military officials.
When he enlisted last year, her nephew knew the odds were high he would be deployed to a war zone, in Iraq or Afghanistan.
"He said he wanted to be one of the good guys, and he wanted to protect us," she said. "A lot of times, we take our freedom for granted, but he was protecting us."
Seig was the 69th person with Indiana ties to die after being sent to the Mideast since the buildup for the invasion of Iraq began in 2003.

To the Seig family from the Wahl family. Healing is a slow process. All this is very diffucult. Be supportive and understanding toward one another. Reflect on the very fond and precious memorable times you each shared together with Anthony. He wouldn't want anyone to be sad and or unhappy. As you reflect on Anthony you realize he is always in your heart. He is an American Hero! To those that knew Anthony. He was so much more. He has not died in vain! Anthony serving our country. Tells me alot about him. He is the elite among AMERICANS. Very few ever serve our country. It is a calling like no other. Anthony was our son's brother and to every soldier that served along side of Anthony. Gregory is with Anthony and all our fallen. He is not alone. He is remembered today and all the tomorrow's. Never ever to be forgotten. Many will come to honor Anthony. Many will share moment HOW? Anthony had touched them. You will shed tears, a smile and a laugh. For Anthony truly, loved you all. He knew you all loved him dearly. Anthony is in my heart and prays. Father of fallen soldier SGT. Gregory L. Wahl US Army KIA Balad, Iraq 05-03-04.
