SACRAMENTO Arnold Duplantier II had just celebrated his 26th birthday and returned to Iraq when he was killed while guarding the hotel where members of the international media stay, the California National Guard said Friday.
Duplantier was killed by small-arms fire Wednesday afternoon while guarding the outside of the Al-Rasheed Hotel in Baghdad, Guard spokesman Tech. Sgt. Andrew Hughan said. He was the only casualty.
He is the 12th California Guardsman killed in Iraq and the first from Sacramento.
Every indication is hes just a good soldier. He volunteered to go to Iraq, Hughan said.
Duplantier had been a full-time Guardsman, providing security at the Guards Sacramento headquarters before he volunteered, Hughan said. A casualty report released Friday said he was recently promoted to sergeant.
He served six months of a yearlong deployment...

The world has lost a brave and honorable man. I remember the many times that as a teenager Arnold would end up crashing in our living room after “hanging out” with Robert.
I also remember him as a very polite and helpful young man who seemed to always have a genuine caring in how those around him were doing. His serves as an shining example of how we all should live.
