Standing by in Fairfax. I read the story about PFC. Ehle in yesterday's Washington post. What an outstanding young man. Mark, Thanks for the tip.
The link to the article:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/03/AR2006040301776.html
Here is the article from the Washington Post:
 Richmond Soldier Dies in Iraq
By Annie Gowen
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, April 4, 2006; Page A19
A teenage soldier raised in a Richmond area boy's home who had found a surrogate family through his high school's ROTC program was killed Sunday in Iraq, military officials said yesterday.
Army Pfc. Jeremy W. Ehle, 19, died after he and other soldiers came under fire while on patrol near Hit, the Defense Department said yesterday. Ehle was part of the Army's 1st Battalion, 36th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade, 1st Armored Division stationed in Friedberg, Germany. He had arrived in Iraq early last month.
"He was incredible, and we loved him very much," said Regina Tarr of Richmond. Tarr said Ehle had befriended her son and daughter while the three were members of the junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps program at John Randolph Tucker High School in Richmond. Ehle had spent the Christmas holidays with Tarr's family.
Ehle joined the Army in January 2005 and graduated in June, according to Staff Sgt. Jamal Ghammashi, his recruiter. Ehle was posted to Germany just after Christmas.
On the Web site MySpace.com, Ehle wrote to a friend in early January to say he had gotten word his unit would be heading to Ramadi, Iraq, in a few days.
" IT IS A HOT SPOT!!! the last few days there have been a few american soldiers killed in that area ," he wrote. " im just letting you know. i didnt mean it when i said dont worry, but it feels weird not having someone you care for not worrying about you when youre about to go out into an actual warzone ."
Ehle had just started online psychology and other classes, he wrote.
Ghammashi said that Ehle was an "absolutely wonderful kid" who never complained about his living circumstances. He had no car and walked from the boy's home a few blocks to class, Ghammashi said.
Ehle found strong support in the ROTC program, he said.
"He loved it," Ghammashi said. "All the kids grew attached to each other; during lunches they all sat in the ROTC room. They had a very tightknit group. Due to his upbringing -- or lack of it -- that drew him to it. He enjoyed having that close of friends."
Staff researcher Bobbye Pratt contributed to this report.

Standing by in Richmond, VA!
__________
God, In the name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, your son I pray comfort and care for the family and that you welcom Jeremy Ehle into your tender care. Amen.
"And I saw a new heven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorner for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dewll with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be thier God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, not crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." -- Rev. Chap 21, V. 1-4

In 1970, as a Youth Pastor, I stood in the Chesterfield Co. Courthouse as a character witness for two teenage boys, who had gotten into some trouble, and the judge was going to have to send them to Beaumont. I asked the judge if I had a boys ranch, would he let them go with me. He said he'd do anything to help save the lives of teens who had taken the wrong step. From 1971-78, my wife and I started a boys ranch, called the New Life Youth Ranch, near Gore, VA, where 33 teenage boys were given a chance to have their lives turned around...and for many of them, that happened, just like with Pfc. Jeremy W. Ehle. I do not know where he spent his time while attending Tucker High School, but I thank God for you all that provided a place for him. His life was turned around and he just needed a chance and as a result of Jeremy and a lot of people who showed him love and direction, he has become one of America's great heros. In this time of so much apathy towards this war on terror, thank God in heaven for young men, like Jeremy, who love America enough to join (without a draft) and be willing to fight for Her freedom. The price of Freedom is, oh, so high, for it's the blood of Patriots like Jeremy that keeps Her free.
I'll proudly ride with PGR, Wednesday, to honor such a fine soldier. To his family, friends, and loved ones, we pray God's loving arms will be felt by each of you as you face these days and the tough days ahead of you. We will be praying for each of you. God richly bless each one that has helped Jeremy along the way for your love has not been in vain.

UPDATE - I have spoken to Jeremy's Guardian, they appreciate everything we do. They prefer to have a private funeral service for family and friends only.
Our condolences to the family and friends of Pfc Jeremy Elhe, we will keep you in our thoughts and be sure to know each one of us will be with you in spirit.
Pfc Jeremy W. Ehle, you are loved by many and you will be missed. You have given the ultimate sacrifice to your family and counrty. You are a true hero, thank you.
Rest in peace.
Respectfully,
