NORTH HANOVER, N.J. — A soldier who returned to Iraq four weeks ago after a bereavement leave to mourn the death of his father was buried Dec. 2 in Burlington County.
Spc. Ryan Travis Baker was buried at Brig. General William C. Doyle Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Arneytown, the same cemetery where his father, a Navy veteran, was buried in October.
Baker was one of 17 soldiers killed in Mosul, Iraq, on Nov. 15 when two Black Hawk helicopters collided. A rocket-propelled grenade fired from the ground is believed to have caused the crash, Army officials said.
Baker, 24, was in New Jersey less than two weeks before his death for his father Dane’s funeral....
