killed Jan. 17, north of Taji, Iraq. Orr was one of three soldiers killed while conducting a surveillance sweep for IEDs north of Baghdad when the attack occurred.

“He was a good, solid kid,” Nicholson said. “He’s the kind of kid who would feel like he had an obligation to his country and would say, “I need to do that.’”
