 This will remain as a featured article at the top of the front page in remembrance to Ahmed, who is still missing in Iraq. As a fellow soldier, we leave no one behind.
 Army Times -- An American soldier missing in Iraq since late October probably was captured by the enemy, the Pentagon said Thursday, making official what the U.S. military there has suggested for more than a month.
Ahmed K. Altaie, a 41-year-old Iraqi-born resident of Ann Arbor, Mich., was snatched off the street while he was visiting his Iraqi wife in Baghdad on Oct. 23.  
U.S. forces have conducted raids in portions of Sadr City searching for Altaie, who worked as a translator. The U.S. government has offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to his recovery.
He initially was listed as “whereabouts unknown,” but the military generally reviews such cases to rule out all other possibilities, including being absent without leave. He is now considered “missing-captured.”
In Altaie’s case, the Mahdi Army is believed to have grabbed him, as well as dozens of people during a raid on a Ministry of Higher Education office in Baghdad on Nov. 14. The ministry is predominantly Sunni Arab. |

 Muncie Star Press -- A man who moved to Muncie two years ago to be closer to his family has now lost his only son in the Iraq War.
Pfc. Jaiciae L. Pauley, 29, of Austell, Ga., son of Muncie residents Roger and Teressa Pauley, died Dec. 11 in Kirkuk, Iraq, as a result of a "non-combat related incident," according to a military press release.
The death is still being investigated by the U.S. Army, but for Roger Pauley, the manner of his son's death isn't important. |

 Cadets and Cadre of the Blue Mountain Battalion -
I
hope this note finds you all well and getting ready for the Christmas
and the New Year. Since leaving the BMB in July, it has been a busy,
nomadic lifestyle for me. I was tasked to lead a team of American
Soldiers to Iraq to train, advise, and assist the Iraqi Department of
Border Enforcement in securing their border. The eleven-man team I
would lead was one of hundreds of such teams that are part of the long
term strategy to professionalize the Iraqi Security Forces (Army,
Police, Border) to the extent that they can stand on their own and the
Coalition Forces can go home.
My team was assembled from across
the US, from Florida (my Medic) to Washington (my Fire Support
Officer). We all traveled to Ft. Riley, Kansas for three month's
training. I was blessed with some superb Soldiers of all specialties
from operations and intelligence, to logistics, maintenance, and
communications. We worked well together as we tackled training tasks
such as conducting mounted patrolling, learned the art of
counter-insurgency operations, and practiced some basic Arabic.
Training culminated with a week in El Paso with the Department of
Customs and Border Enforcement (US Border Patrol) where they showed us
how they get the job done every day on the Mexican border. |

The Associated Press -- Derrick Gwaltney couldn’t wait to come home from Iraq and see his wife and 2-year-old daughter — and the son the couple was expecting, his family said.
They had spoken to him on Thanksgiving, just days before he died.
“We put him on speaker phone so everyone could yell, ‘Derrick, we love you! Happy Thanksgiving!’ He kind of chuckled and laughed and said, ‘Thanks everybody.’ He said, ‘I’ll talk to you later, mom.’ That was it,” said his mother, Patricia Gwaltney. |

| Mail Tribune -- A Southern Oregon sailor who was accidentally electrocuted while working on the USS Rentz during a port call in the United Arab Emirates spent part of his childhood in Central Point.
Petty Officer 3rd Class David M. Mudge, 22, of Sutherlin, died in what the Navy called "a non-hostile accident" on Nov. 28. The ship was in Port Jebel Ali in the United Arab Emirates.
"He was a good sailor, son and sibling," said his brother, Curtis Mudge, 26.
David was the fifth of seven children of Larry and Judy Mudge. The family lived in Central Point in the mid-1990s, leaving in 1997. Curtis Mudge said the kids attended Jewett Elementary School. The family then moved north to Winston and then to Sutherlin. |

They would bring the critters back to their mom, who would use them to make homemade gumbo.

SAN JOSE, CA (KGO) -- There was an emotional homecoming in San Jose Monday night where a Bay Area soldier seriously injured in Iraq, finally made it back home.
U.S. Army Specialist Johnny Nguyen knew people would be greeting him at the San Jose airport Monday night, but he started to tear up when he saw how many people showed up just to shake his hand and thank him. Not only his family and friends were there, but 60 Patriot Guard Riders showed up to welcome the injured soldier.
"It helps a lot knowing I have people behind me. I'm a big baby crying. It helps a lot, means a lot to me," said Johnny. |
