Bomb kills Army medic in Iraq

Associated Press

PENDLETON, Ore. — An Army medic from Pendleton was killed in Iraq this week, one of five soldiers who died in a roadside bombing.

Pfc. Ryan Walker, who turned 25 on Dec. 30, had been in Iraq for a year and was due to come home this year. On Thursday, he was one of five soldiers killed in an attack on their Humvee south of the Iraqi city Karbala.

Walker was the son of Randy Walker of Pendleton and Louise Walker of Hermiston. Walker’s father described the Pendleton High School graduate as a “friendly kid who didn’t have an enemy in the world.”

The medic earned a Purple Heart in April after being shot in the leg. The East Oregonian said he’d been grazed by a bullet while rushing to help soldiers hit by a car bomb in Baghdad.

Ryan Walker was a great human being an I had the Honor to serve with him and have him ride in one of my vehicles while patroling the rough cities of Iraq during our deployment. Since I met Ryan, he always carried himslef in such a positive way you'd always ended up smiling and sharing his enthusuasm wheter it was studying for a promotion board, working out at the gym, or sharing some laughs in the AID Station with the other medics. For some reason everythime He was in our convoy we felt if something would happened that He would save us and would let us die, and thats exactly how everyone in 1-76 FA felt until the tragic day in Jan 5th, 2006. He told us that he would stay back and go out on patrol until the last fellow Patriot was relieved from our tour, and He carried out his promise, as he got out of the HMMWV to rescue SGT Jason Lopez after an explosive device exploded next to his vehicle. May Him Rest In peace and the Mighty Lord bless and comfort his family. Ryan will never be forgotten and there will always be a flag flown for him at the Heroes walk @ ft. Stewart. always in my heart and thoughts: SSG Carmona

O God, by whose mercy the faithful departed find rest, look kindly on Your departed veteran who gave his life in the service of his country. Grant that through the passion, death, and resurrection of Your Son he may share in the joy of Your heavenly kingdom and rejoice in You with Your saints forever.

I ask this through Christ our Lord
