SPC Jeffrey A. Williams, 20,
KIA Sept. 5 2005 when an improvised explosive device detonated near his combat patrol in Tal Afar, Iraq.
“Williams made the ultimate sacrifice on Sep. 5, 2005 during Operation Restoring Rights – a battle to lift the pall of fear from the people of Tall Afar, defeat the forces of terrorism and hatred, & secure Iraq and our own nation from terrorists whose brutality knows no limits.
”All of us were deeply saddened by the loss of Jeffrey. He was a larger than life young man. He was a courageous soldier who volunteered to join our security detachment. Today, thinking of Jeffrey and his ever-present smile makes me smile. He had a wonderful sense of humor.
“Jeffrey was a warrior and a humanitarian. Jeffrey was a selfless man who would do anything to help his fellow soldiers. As a medic, he risked his own life to save fellow soldiers. Let’s remember that Jeffrey was called to be a warrior and a humanitarian.
“Let’s remember Jeffrey’s humaneness, and the commitment to his fellow warriors that compelled him to act courageously, endure hardships, take risks, and make the ultimate sacrifice for us.”
