Army Pfc. Jeremy Ricardo Ewing
tommy22, of Miami
assigned to 4th Battalion, 27th Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Armored Division, Baumholder, Germany; one of eight soldiers killed April 29 by a car bomb as his unit was doing a dismounted improvised-explosive device-sweep in Baghdad.
… state Sen. Frederica Wilson, D-Miami, who knew him as a middle school student.
Ewing, 22, was one of eight soldiers killed on April 29 in a carbomb attack. He had been scheduled to come home two weeks earlier, but his tour of duty was extended at the last minute.
Ewing joined the Army shortly after Sept. 11, 2001, without even telling his parents. It was a decision they opposed, but they understood why he did it.

Hold on to what is good even if it is a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe even if it is a tree which stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do even if it is a long way from here.
Hold on to life even when it is easier letting go.
Hold on to my hand even when I have gone away from you.
