Stars and Stripes -- Sgt. Aaron A. Smith, 31, of Killeen, Texas, died in Baghdad Sept. 14 when a dump truck loaded with explosives and covered by sand exploded near a West Baghdad power substation he was guarding. Smith was a member of the 4th Battalion, 27th Field Artillery Regiment.

He was remembered at Baumholder on Wednesday in a ceremony that hinted there are few safe places to be or jobs to have in Iraq.

Capt. Eduardo D. Rodriguez, rear detachment commander of the 4th Battalion, 27th Field Artillery Regiment, said at the ceremony that Smith was the soldier that every unit has: “Everyone’s favorite.”



Rodriguez said Smith, who was born in Ghana, “was also one of the best tower guards in the power plant.”

“Although Sgt. Smith loved his job and his friends, he loved his family most. While deployed, he would always take the time to call and talk to his wife, Fran, as often as possible,” Rodriguez said. “Sgt. Smith would constantly brag to everyone about AJ, his 14-month-old son.”

Each time my newspaper publishes the names and photos "Faces Of The Fallen". I always make it my duty to look at the photo carefully, and read the small caption. Last week, there are four pages of photos. How can one respond to such loss. Mere mortals, they were, flesh and blood on this earth, now in the arms of angels.

This is my fourth posting on this page. I wonder what future Windell J. Simmons has missed. What he could have accomplished. I am glad he was happy with his life.

Was he frightened when he was injured just before death.

How many other souls extended their hand when his departed his body to guide him, and proclaim with incredible excitement "Here he comes, Here he comes, welcome home".
