56, of Plant City, Fla.

assigned to the 143rd Sustainment Command, Orlando, Fla.; died Nov. 13 in Kaiserslautern, Germany, from a non-combat related incident while in Iraq.

The incident is under investigation.

Friends described Winston, 56, as a man with a generous and energetic spirit… Winston headed for Iraq when the U.S. invasion began, leaving behind a spacious ranch at the end of a dirt road off Trapnell Road, where he had lived with his wife, Jennifer… A small wooden sign nailed to a pine tree still bears his last name, near the Calvary Free Will Baptist Church, where he was a member… The Rev. Rodger McClellan remembers Winston as someone unfailingly friendly, who loved the church, his family, his old cars - and, especially, the U.S. Army.

what is this?
