Spc. Daniel Cunningham Jr. had few romantic notions about military service when he enlisted four years ago. He was inspired to join by his late father, who had served in Vietnam, but he was mostly looking for stability.
“It was for the job, a steady job,” said his mother, Nancy. “He had a wife and son to support.”
He and two other soldiers out of Fort Stewart, Ga., were in a Humvee, carrying munitions and supplies to front-line forces in Baghdad, when they plunged into a ravine April 4 while swerving to avoid mortars and military fire, according to relatives briefed by the military. All three men died.
The Department of Defense declined to confirm details, saying the incident is under investigation.
Cunningham has a 10-year-old son,...
