Corporal Stephen R. Bixler, 20, Suffield, Conn.
Bixler was an Eagle Scout before joining the Marines, and was remembered in his hometown as an "All-American kid." In his yearbook at Suffield High, he quoted Vince Lombardi: "I believe a man's finest hour is the moment he has worked his heart out and lies exhausted on the field of battle, victorious." He was killed on foot patrol May 4, 2006, in Al Anbar province.
