BISMARCK, N.D. � An Army soldier from New Salem has been killed in Iraq, almost exactly a year after the last North Dakota soldier to die in the Middle East.

Spc. Dennis Ferderer Jr., 20, died in Ad Duluiyah, Iraq, on Wednesday, when a hand grenade was thrown at his Humvee, the Department of Defense said. Ad Duluiyah is about 60 miles north of Baghdad.

Ferderer was serving with the 1st Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division, which is based in Fort Benning, Ga.

He was the son of Dennis Sr. and Claudina Ferderer, and had one brother. Claudina Ferderer declined to talk about her son Thursday, saying the family planned a news conference at their farm Friday.

My brother may not have been able to drink a beer legally but that is not to say that he never drank one. He definitely had his fair share of beer in his life. But thank you for your kind words. I am sure that he is laughing and pointing right now saying, "See at least some one thinks I should be able to drink legally."

This lad was 20 years old, old enough to give his life for his country, but they wouldn't even let him have a beer....how sad!

rest in peace my son.
