Kyle Gilbert joined the U.S. Army two weeks after he graduated from Brattleboro Union High School. He signed up for eight years.
The dark-eyed teen of short stature pursued his goal with the same intensity that won him national rankings in martial arts. In joining up, Gilbert, 20, followed in the footsteps of his father and his uncle. The latter was a Vietnam-era Medal of Honor recipient.
He shipped out to Iraq on March 6.
Pvt. Gilbert died Aug. 6 when gunmen in an Iraqi vehicle opened fire on his unit in Baghdad. He died from injuries received during the ambush, the Defense Department said.
