1. Army Spc. Joshua L. Hill (MilitaryTimes.com). Excerpt:
Hill, a 2002 graduate of Madison-Grant High School in Fairmount, Ind., joined the Army Reserve when his wife, Alexis, was expecting their first child who’s now 6, the soldier’s father said. The couple also has a 1-year-old daughter, Ariana. Joshua Hill was studying nursing at Indiana Business College, and was an avid NASCAR fan, his father said. He had already completed a military tour in Iraq, and was set to return home from Afghanistan in about a month, his father said. “He was 30 days, 12 hours and 20 minutes from home,” Terry Hill said. “He had it all figured out exactly.”
