Anbar Province, Iraq

Richard "Chad" Clifton had always wanted to join the military, but there was no way he was going to let his kid brother follow him. "He would tell his brother 'I'll break both of your arms and legs if you go into the military,'" hisfather said. He was based at Camp Pendleton. Clifton grew up on a farm near a wildlife refuge, and used to go for long walks through the woods with his parents and younger brother, occasionally stopping to splash in a mud puddle. The 2003 high school graduate declined opportunities to attend military service academies in favor of boot camp. Teachers said he was a "brilliant writer" who enjoyed debate. "Chad was an outstanding student. Reliable, Steadfast, Selfless, Intelligent, and very Energetic. All of those positive attributes that you look for all of our young people who are destined to become future leaders," said his Junior ROTC instructor. Clifton is also survived by his mother, Terri.
