Yesterday two more families were notified that a beloved family member was killed in the line of duty in Iraq.
Isaoshy Uruo said he just couldn't bear to hear the details of his son's death, which marks the 21st casualty for the Micronesia region in the ongoing war on terror.

Isaoshy Uruo is the father of 28 year old Army Sgt. Iosiwo Uruo, who was killed in Iraq this week.
