1st Lt. Joshua C. Hurley joined the Army in 2001 after graduating from Virginia Military Institute. His sister said VMI was the only school he ever wanted to attend. "He really believed in what he was doing," Amanda Hurley said. "The last letter I got from him, he was ready to come home and go hunting and fishing. He loved being an engineer officer." Hurley, 24, of Clifton Forge, Va., was killed Nov. 1 when his vehicle was hit by an explosive. He was based at Fort Campbell with the 101st Airborne Division. His wife, Teresa, is also a soldier with the 101st in Iraq. "We were pretty close. We''re a real close family," Amanda Hurley said. "We''re just pulling together and trying to get through it."

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you...
