John Moore Getty Images "Memorial Day At Arlington" Mary McHugh mourns her slain fiance Sgt. James Regan at the Arlington National Cemetery May 27, 2006, Memorial Day weekend. Regan, a U.S. Army Ranger from Long Island, was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq in February, and this was the first time McHugh had visited the grave since the funeral. When he died, Regan was on his fourth combat deployment - twice in Afghanistan and twice in Iraq.


btw, as a Duke graduate, Sgt. Regan could have joined the Army as an officer, but decided to enlist instead. He didn't want to get stuck behind a desk.

This was very touching thanks for sharing. Thanks to all the vets who have given their lives for the US.
