R.I.P.

A local soldier was killed in Iraq Jun. 28.
La Verne resident Cory F. Hiltz, 20, was a private 1st class for the U.S. Army. He was with the 2nd BN, 12th Infantry Reg, 2d Brigade Combat Team, 2d Infantry Division. He died in Baghdad, apparently by IED and small arms fire.
fyi: A resource for tracking soldiers who are killed in combat has been this site. It also has searchable databases. This is an interesting story about the guy who runs it.
