Pfc. Raheen Tyson Heighter recently wrote to his mother from Iraq, saying he was fine and urging his family not to worry.
“Time goes by like a continuous Groundhog Day over here,” he wrote in a letter dated June 20. “In the beginning, there was a lot of bloodshed, but now it’s all over. … The good news is I will be coming home in September — October at the latest.”
Heighter was one of three soldiers killed July 24 when their convoy was ambushed. He was stationed at Fort Campbell, Ky.
“He was a good boy and a phenomenal talent,” his uncle Ron Adams said. “He would display his work at arts festivals. No matter what he was doing, he aspired to be best.”
