19, of Defiance, Ohio; assigned to the 95th Military Police Battalion, Mannheim, Germany; died Dec. 12, 2004 serving during Operation Iraqi Freedom in Baghdad of non-combat-related injuries.(Submitted on March 1, 2024, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
2. PFC Joshua Adam Ramsey (Find A Grave). Excerpt:
(Riverside Cemetery, Defiance, Defiance County, Ohio) Pfc. Joshua A. Ramsey of Defiance, Ohio was a 2003 high school graduate. He loved his job. He loved the Iraqi people, especially the kids. He was assigned to distribute soccer balls and school supplies. It didn't make a lot of sense at first, but Joshua decided to buy himself a new Pontiac Grand Am while on a two-week vacation from Iraq. It seemed rather foolish to buy a car. But, when it's 150 degrees in Iraq, you need something to dream about and to plan for. If it helped him through the tough times, it was well worth it.(Submitted on March 1, 2024, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
