Hometown: Omaha, Neb.

Nathaniel Caldwell's embrace of his faith was growing.

''He would come early to services and tell me about his aspirations and how his path was leading toward the ministry,'' said the Rev. Rodney Howell of Fort Hood's 25th Street Chapel.

Caldwell was killed May 21 in Baghdad when his Humvee rolled over as he responded to a civilian call.

Caldwell grew up in Omaha, Neb. He was married with a son, Donovan, and daughter, Endira.

He enjoyed basketball so much that he'd play games against his brother using the entire court.

''The thing I will remember most is Nate forcing me to play full-court, one-on-one basketball,'' Robert Caldwell said.

Caldwell and his wife had recently joined the 25th Street Chapel.

''We take comfort in knowing Nate was right with Jesus and prepared,'' the Rev. Howell said.

RICHARD P. CARL

Age: 26

Rank: Corporal, 571st Air Medical Company

Hometown: Glenns Ferry, Idaho

In high school, Richard Carl was typically the first to volunteer if books needed to be hauled or the gymnasium bleachers had to be pulled out. He would later give his life helping others.

Carl was killed May 9 when his helicopter snagged a power line and crashed near Samarrah, Iraq, while on a mission to evacuate a wounded Iraqi child. The child, in a second helicopter, survived.

''He was a quiet and helpful young man,'' said Len Penner, then-principal of Glenns Ferry High School. ''To be on that kind of a mission, it doesn't surprise me. Richard was a kid who cared about others.''

Carl enlisted after graduating in 1996 among a class of 48 students. He married his high school sweetheart, Audrey. They have a daughter, 3, and a son, 19 months.

''We are so proud of his contributions to our nation and his role in making the world a better place,'' Audrey Carl said.

JAMES W. CAWLEY

Age: 41

Rank: Staff Sergeant, F Company, 2nd Battalion, 23rd Marine Regisment, 4th Marine Division

Hometown: Roy, Utah

Salt Lake City police SWAT team member James Cawley had a feeling after Sept. 11 his Marine Reserve unit would be called to active duty.

''When America was attacked I knew that I would eventually have to go, and I was filled with a deep sense of sadness,'' Cawley wrote to his young children.

Cawley was struck by a coalition-forces Humvee and killed during a battle March 29 near Nassiriyah, Iraq.

Cawley, the son of a Vietnam veteran, was a Marine for 12 years before becoming a police officer in 1997.

''My husband is a great man, best friend and a great father and uncle,'' Miyki Cawley said in a statement.

They have two children, Cecil, 8, and Keiko, 6.

''There isn't a door in the world that I wouldn't go through with Jim Cawley,'' SWAT Sgt. Dave Hoffman said. ''When talking about SWAT officers, that's about the highest compliment you can give.''

KEMAPHOOM A. CHANAWONGSE

Age: 22

Rank: Corporal, 2nd Assault Amphibian Battalion, 2nd Marine Division

Hometown: Waterford, Conn.

Kemaphoom ''Ahn'' Chanawongse's grandfather once served in the Thai Air Force. From an early age, Chanawongse hoped to similarly serve his adopted homeland.

''He loved every moment in the Marines,'' said his brother, Kemapasse. ''He left us with the highest honor.''

Chanawongse was listed as missing after combat March 23 near An Nasiriyah, Iraq. His remains were identified April 16.

Chanawongse came to the United States from Thailand at age 9. The avid soccer player and snowboarder graduated from Waterford High School in 1999. He enlisted over the objections of his mother, Tan Patchem.

''He understood it was dangerous, and he was proud of doing it,'' his mother said.

Chanawongse's grandfather, Charan Pinrode, 80, traveled from Thailand to attend his grandson's burial.

ROBERT WILLIAM CHANNELL

Age: 36

Rank: Chief Warrant Officer, 1st Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade

Hometown: Tuscaloosa, Ala.

Robert Channell planned to pursue his bachelor's degree when his Marine career was over.

'He was one of those kids who you'd say, `He had always wanted to do that, and so he did,' '' said his stepfather, Mark Sutton.

Channell was killed April 22 near Al Kut, Iraq, when a rocket-propelled grenade launcher he was test-firing malfunctioned.

Channell attended Brookwood High School. He married his high school sweetheart, Joyce, in 1986, and enlisted that year.

The couple and their 5-year-old daughter planned to move to Japan or Hawaii for their last overseas tour. They would then return to Tuscaloosa, where Channell hoped to attend the University of Alabama.

''I'm probably prejudiced because I'm his dad, but he's one of the finest men I've ever met,'' Sutton said.

THERREL S. CHILDERS

Age: 30

Rank: Second Lieutenant, First Battalion, Fifth Marine Regiment

Hometown: Powell, Wyo.

"Shane'' Childers traveled his own path as an athlete, preferring individual sports like kayaking, hiking, mountain-climbing and triathlons.

Childers was fatally shot March 21 while trying to secure an oil field pumping station in southern Iraq. It was his first assignment as a platoon leader.

His mother, Judy, remembered his "enthusiasm about life. About everything in life.'' He was an intense young man who "almost became a perfectionist,'' she said.

"He was born to be a Marine,'' said his father, Joseph.

Childers grew up near Gulfport, Miss., and joined the Marines after high school. His father and brother are Navy veterans.

While an active-duty Marine, Childers graduated from The Citadel in Charleston, S.C., in 2001 as part of a special program - the Marine Enlisted Commissioning Education Program - for Marines seeking to get a college degree. He majored in French and made the dean's list.

Hometown: Washoe, Nev.

Inspired by television coverage of the 1991 Persian Gulf War, 10-year-old Donald Cline Jr. told his mother, ''When I'm old enough, I'm going to be there.''

That's where Cindy Fulton would lose her only child.

''He was a great dad and a great son,'' she said.

Cline was killed in combat March 23 near An Nasiriyah, Iraq. He was listed as missing until his remains were identified April 13.

Cline graduated from Washoe High School, where he played basketball, in 2000. He enlisted, got married after boot camp, and became a father.

''John felt [enlisting] would be the best thing to secure a future for his family,'' his mother said.

Cline and his wife Tina had two sons, Dakota, 2, and Dillon, 7 months. Last month, Tina Cline received a hand-carved wooden truck from her husband overseas with the name ''Dakota'' on the side.

DANIEL FRANCIS J. CUNNINGHAM

Age: 33

Rank: Specialist, 41st Field Artillery Regiment

Hometown: Lewiston, Maine

Army Spc. Daniel Francis J. Cunningham learned about serving his country from his late father, a proud Marine.

''He was proud of what he was doing. He didn't have any hesitation on going,'' said his brother, James Cunningham. ''My dad fought in Vietnam, so he was more than willing. He knew about patriotism.''

Cunningham was killed April 4 when his vehicle veered into a ravine.

Cunningham, the oldest of three boys, managed restaurants before joining the Army three years ago.

Cunningham lived with his wife, Heather, and son Conor, 10, in Revere, Mass.

In a March 8 letter to his mother, Cunningham was in his usual good humor.

''He wanted some Pepsi, baby wipes and cigarettes,'' James Cunningham said. ''He just said it was hot. He went into some detail about the bugs and lizards they have over there.''

MICHAEL EDWARD CURTIN

Age: 23

Rank: Specialist, 2-7th Infantry, 3rd Infantry Division

Hometown: Howell Township, N.J.

At 5-foot-9 and 155 pounds, Michael Curtin was never more than a backup wide receiver for the Howell High School football team. But as an Army paratrooper, he trained to serve on the front lines.

Curtin was one of four soldiers killed March 29 by a suicide car bomber at an Army checkpoint near Najaf, Iraq.

''Although he was with us but a short time, he displayed tremendous bravery, unwavering faith and a devout love for his family,'' his parents, Michael and Joan Curtin, said.

Though he rarely played in games, Curtin never missed football practice in four years.

After graduating in 1998, he worked as a tool and die maker and also at his uncle's packaging business before joining the Army in May 2001.

Curtin was the eldest of five children.

''He liked to read,'' said his sister, Katie Curtin. ''When he was home, he liked to stay at home, reading and spending time with the family.''

Eric Das didn't send his wife, an Air Force lieutenant, a Valentine's Day card.

He sent seven.

''He sent so many letters,'' said Nicole ''Nikki'' Das. ``I was Eric's wingman and he was the lead. We flew very fast through this journey.''

Das was killed April 7 when his F-15E Strike Eagle went down near Tikrit, Iraq, during his 17th flight mission of the conflict.

Das was born in the Netherlands to missionary parents -- but grew up in Texas. He graduated in 1995 from the Air Force Academy with a degree in civil engineering.

Das proposed to Nicole Skibinski, the sister of his best friend -- an Air Force major -- while on a glacier in Alaska. They were married in October 2001.

Das volunteered for service in Iraq in part because his wife was serving as an intelligence officer there.

''He was doing what he loved that night and flying with people he really loved, too,'' Nikki Das said.

Wilbert Davis was a strong family man with a lot of love in his heart, said his wife of nearly 10 years. Still, he looked forward to serving in Iraq.

''I don't know what to say. He was that dedicated,'' Huiok Davis said.

Davis was killed April 3 along with embedded'' journalist Michael Kelly when their Humvee went off a bridge into a canal en route to Baghdad.

ROBERT J. DOWDY

Age: 38

Rank: Master sergeant

Unit: 507th Maintenance Company

Hometown: DeRidder, La.

Robert Dowdy could have chosen not to face combat in Iraq. Twice, he volunteered.

Assigned to the Patriot missile group at Fort Bliss, Dowdy accepted orders given to another soldier to go to Kuwait, said family friend James Crenshaw. Then he accepted an invitation to serve as first sergeant for the 507th when he could have stayed in Kuwait.

''That was just his way,'' Crenshaw said. ''If he thought he could keep someone else out of harm's way, he'd take the assignment.''

Dowdy graduated from Cleveland's South High School in 1982, then joined the Army three years later. He and his wife, Kathleen, have a daughter, Kristy, 14.

''That was probably the biggest joy in his life, having a daughter,'' said his brother, Jack Dowdy Jr.

Robert Dowdy was an avid distance runner, competing in races from five kilometers (3.1 miles) to marathons. He placed second in his age group in the 10K Trio Race in 2001.
