Nino D Livaudais

Ogden, Utah

April 3, 2003

Nino D. Livaudais, an Army Ranger, had been assigned to Afghanistan twice, and Iraq was his third combat tour in two years. "He had a purpose. He was doing his part as an American," said his wife, Jackie, pregnant with their third child. On April 3, Livaudais was at a checkpoint when a woman jumped from a car, screaming, and the vehicle exploded.
