CARBON HILL, Ala. — Richard Gilmore feared the worst when there was a knock on his door at 12:30 a.m. July 19 and there were two soldiers standing there. The news was bad.
His 22-year-old son, Richard Gilmore III, had been killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq, becoming the first person from Walker County to be killed in the war in Iraq.
Gilmore died July 18, along with three other soldiers and their Iraqi interpreter, when a roadside bomb exploded near their patrol unit in eastern Baghdad.
Gilmore, a 2003 graduate of Walker High School, was a member of the Army’s 126th Infantry Division, Alpha Company, based in Germany.
