TULSA, Okla. — Army Spc. Joel Lewis, a gung-ho adventurer who put marriage to his sweetheart on hold to serve his country, was among six soldiers killed over the weekend in a roadside bomb blast in Iraq, his family said.
Lewis, 28, had ties to Sand Springs, a suburb of Tulsa, where his mother and stepfather live. He was a member of a Stryker Brigade Combat Team at Fort Lewis, Wash., and had been in Iraq since February.
A freelance news photographer from Russia also was killed, and two more soldiers were wounded in the May 6 improvised explosive device attack, according to the Department of Defense.

Joel,
We miss you and think about you everyday. We just visited your grave a couple days ago and put your EIB by your headstone. We know how proud you were of earning that, as not many people do. We love you!
