Aaron Boyles

Soon before he was scheduled to come home from Iraq, Aaron Boyles asked his wife, Prabha, to hold the phone to her pregnant belly so he could send kisses to their unborn child.

"He was going to teach him how to play football. He was going to spoil him," she said.

Boyles, 24, of Alameda, Calif., was killed Sept. 24, 2004, by enemy fire in Anbar province.

He was born and raised in Oregon, and moved to the Bay Area his senior year of high school. Survivors include his wife, Prabha. He also has family in Hood River.
