"He said he wanted to help protect the United States. He felt we were in danger and he wanted to do something to help.” Lynn Burr, sister Curtiss, 27, of Salt Lake City, was killed in a firefight as he and other soldiers were attempting to evacuate a hospital that had come under attack. The Army staff sergeant had joined the military immediately following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
