LAKE ELSINORE, Calif. — Pfc. Daniel Parker followed in the footsteps of his father and grandfather when he enlisted in the Army last year, believing that military service was not just a family tradition but a public obligation.
“He was proud to be in the Army and proud to be serving his country,” his heartbroken father, Billy Parker, told The Associated Press by phone Wednesday night.
The 18-year-old soldier died in the Iraqi city of Mosul on Aug. 12 after being thrown from his vehicle when the driver swerved to avoid an oncoming vehicle, the Defense Department said. Additional details about his death were not immediately available.
