In Memoriam

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Army Spc. Andrew Daul, 21, of Brighton who died this past Tuesday while serving in Iraq.

From the Livingston Daily Press and Argus:

The fallen soldier's family is remembering him as a heroic, strong, patriotic and brave young man who was into bodybuilding and loved to travel.

Andrew Daul, who was in his second tour of duty in Iraq when he died, was with the 1st Battalion, 37th Armored Regiment, 1st Brigade, 1st Armored Division, based in Friedberg, Germany.

This year's Christmas will be extra somber for those who knew Andrew Daul.
"I don't think there will be much of a Christmas this year," Kathy Daul said. "We'll honor Jesus Christ, we'll go to our midnight mass, but as far as truly getting into the commercial aspect of all of that, that probably very definitely will be put aside and the next couple weeks will be strictly in honor of Andrew."

RIP Spc. Daul
