Army Spc. William Farrar Jr., 20, Redlands; bomb hit his convoy

In the late afternoon of May 11, an Air Force chaplain and an Army sergeant in full uniform knocked on the front door of the Farrars' home in Redlands. Farrar, 20, was killed that day when his convoy was struck by a roadside bomb in Iskandariya, south of Baghdad. ... His mother, Sally Bors, found out the next day at the Palm Springs motorcycle shop she owns. "A gentleman in a uniform approached me," Bors told the Desert Sun newspaper. "I kept telling myself that he wasn't in an Army uniform -- that he wasn't looking for me."
