Together They Will Come Home


The agonizing year-long wait for news of Iraq War POW-MIAs Alex Jimenez and Byron Fouty is over. The Pentagon has confirmed the deaths of both soldiers.

The two were kidnapped after their unit was ambushed on May 12, 2007, in the volatile area south of Baghdad known as the "triangle of death" while serving with the 10th Mountain Division, based at Fort Drum, NY.

New England Care for Our Military, a family support group, had a banner for the missing soldiers:

“Together they serve our nation and together they will come home.”

So they did And so they will.


Requietum En Pacem, Soldiers
