Maj. Mathew E. Schram, the fifth of six children of Earl and Sarah Schram, always wanted to be a soldier, said his older sister, Susan Kuske. He joined the Reserve Officers Training Corps at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater before joining the Army in 1989.
“He made it his career and loved it,” Kuske said. “He rose in the ranks and worked hard to get there.”
Schram, 36, of Brookfield, Wis., was killed May 26 near the town of Hadithah, about 120 miles north of Baghdad, when gunmen ambushed a military convoy on a resupply mission.
“He felt he was doing the right thing,” said Susan Kuske. “We all felt the same way.”
