Blanding, Utah
Obituary
Send FlowersNathan L. Winder was with his unit at an Iraqi hospital when they spotted a girl with a gash on her face. She had apparently been refused care. For privacy, some soldiers surrounded the girl while Winder used his skills as a medic to stitch up the wound on her cheek. Winder gave her a stuffed toy when he was done. Someone had a camera outside the hospital, and the resulting picture of that impromptu operation now remains as an example of how Winder''s parents define their son. "He loved kids," said his father, Tom Winder. "He always had something for the kids." Winder, 32, of Blanding, Utah, died June 26 in Diwaniyah of wounds from small-arms fire. He was assigned to Fort Lewis. Born in Seoul, South Korea, Winder was adopted at the age of 2. In all, the Winders have adopted eight children, some of them with special needs. "The fact that he was abandoned at such an early age affected him all his life," said his mother, Terri Winder. "He was very tender, even though he had created a hard shell on the outside. And he laughed a lot." He also is survived by his wife, Mechelle, and their 11-year-old son, Logan.

Simply put, you were the best. There isn't a day go by that we don't think about you. Logan is your spitting image, and has your character and humor as well. The bond the 3 of us share is forever, and is the one thing we can truly call our own. We cherish the time we had with you here on Earth, and know in time we'll be together again. Be proud of the man, soldier and especially father that you were, are, and will always be. PS..Everyday is Sunday. ;o)

Hey Nate. Just wanted to stop by and say that I was proud to have been one of your Soldiers. I remember back at Ft Riley as a brand new private in B 1/41 IN (Mech), you were one of my first supervisors and right away I knew that I wanted to mold myself after you and be the type of leader you were. I regret not keeping in touch with you enough after we went separate ways. Knowing that we both were in the same country at the time of your death makes my Heart heavy. I know that we MUST have made...
