1. North Dakota Army National Guard Spc. Jon P. Fettig. Excerpt:

Fettig, 30, an Army National Guard specialist, died in Iraq when attackers fired rocket-propelled grenades at a truck he was driving. Guard officials said Fettig was the first North Dakota Army National Guard soldier killed in battle since the Korean War. Fettig was part of a Dickinson-based engineering unit but volunteered to fill a vacancy in Bismarck’s 957th Multi-Role Bridge Company. The Bismarck unit left for Kuwait in late April, then moved into Iraq. North Dakota Gov. John Hoeven and Maj. Gen. Mike Haugen, the commander of the North Dakota Army National Guard, presented Fettig’s Purple Heart and Bronze Star medals to his widow Cody Fettig and to his parents.
