BOSTON — A Boston man who joined the Army to help pay for college for his sister and himself was among three soldiers killed in an explosion in Iraq last week.
Sgt. Daniel J. Londono, 22, was killed March 13, less than three weeks before his April 1 birthday and two months before he was going to complete his military service, relatives said.
Londono was in a military vehicle in Baghdad with Staff Sgt. Clint D. Ferrin, 31, of Picayune, Miss., and Pfc. Joel K. Brattain, 21, of Santa Anna, Calif, when an improvised explosive device struck it, the Department of Defense said March 16.
All three soldiers were assigned to the 1st Battalion, 504th Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division in Fort Bragg, N.C. Ferrin grew up in Ogden, Utah and moved to Mississippi for his senior year of high school before joining the Army.
