Bodies of 2 missing US soldiers are found in Iraq
Associated Press - July 11, 2008 1:13 PM ET
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Defense Department has confirmed that the remains of 2 soldiers kidnapped in May of last year in Iraq were discovered Wednesday and identified yesterday.
Army Sergeant Alex Jimenez and Private Byron Fouty (FOW'-tee) were kidnapped in the volatile area south of Baghdad known as the "triangle of death."
Fouty's stepfather, Gordon Dibler (DY'-blur) of Oxford, Michigan, says he's "still in shock" after a military notification team came to his house yesterday. But he says the news comes as a "very sad relief" and that his thoughts are with the "other men and women who are still doing their job over there."
Sergeant Jimenez's family was notified yesterday in Lawrence, Massachusetts. His father says the news "shattered all hope" they had that they would one day see him come home.
And these are the people we are trying to push democracy down their throats…..
