Pfc. Edward James Herrgott was a quiet man who was starting to find his way in the world with the help of the military.
“The Army gave him a little discipline, a little guidance in his life. He was getting on track,” said Troy Schimek, a 19-year-old friend of Herrgott’s family. He said Herrgott, known to family and friends as “Jim,” was his role model. While he made some mistakes, he always “took it in stride and righted himself,” Schimek said.
Herrgott, 20, of Shakopee, Minn., died July 3 when a sniper shot him in the neck outside the national museum in Baghdad. He hoped to earn enough money in the Army to become a police officer, said his parents, Marcia and Edward Herrgott.
