Patrick Williamson was a smart man who had a knack for figuring out how machines operated. He had studied mechanical engineering for two years in college - and he was usually the only one who could start his pickup truck.

His family wrote in his obituary that he was smart and scored high on military aptitude tests, high enough to have his choice of jobs. But he chose infantry because that's where he believed he'd make the biggest difference.

"At the end of the day, he was doing what he wanted," said the soldier's father, Leon "Buddy" Williamson. "He's wanted to join the Army and be in the infantry since fifth grade."

Williamson, 24, of Broussard, La., was killed by a roadside bomb Oct. 27 in Arghandab Valley. He was assigned to Fort Lewis.

Williamson attended the University of Louisiana at Lafayette before deciding to join the military in 2006.

Prayer for Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;

Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we...
