STOCKTON, Calif. — A 19-year-old soldier from Stockton was killed on July 8 during a mortar attack on military headquarters in Samarra, north of Baghdad, in Iraq, Department of Defense officials said Friday.
Spc. William River Emanuel IV had joined the military when he was 17, soon after he graduated from an alternative high school. He had been in Iraq since February and was the ninth soldier with ties to San Joaquin County to die since operations began there.
Emanuel had not wanted to come back home because he was having an adventure, and because there was still work to be done, his aunt, Jean Shipley, told the Stockton Record.
