Jimy M Malone

Wills Point, Texas

June 23, 2007

 Killed in Taji, Iraq, when an improvised explosive device detonated near their vehicle.

He served with me on our first tour in Iraq 2004-2005 with 2-8 Cav 1st Cavalry Division.
I had seen him while I was on leave before he deployed and I am glad I got to talk to him, that moment will always be with me forever. He will truly be missed but I know he loved being a soldier and was proud to serve his country.
