NEW YORK — Le Ron Wilson was so eager to join the Army that for his 17th birthday, he asked his mother to sign enlistment papers.
Less than two years later, the Queens teenager was dead — killed by an explosive July 6 in Iraq.
“I always said whatever he chose I would support him,” Simona Francis said of her son. “That’s what he truly wanted.”
Francis, who lives in the Brookville section of Queens, said she and her son were so close and open with each other that he was “like a buddy” to her. “We almost didn’t have a mother-son relationship,” she said.

To Le Ron's Mom. I too am a Army Mom. My heart goes out to you as a Mom. I too have a son in the Army and is about to go back to Iraq for the second time and this time probably right to Bagdahd. I am heartbroken that your son was only 18 years old. He didn't even begin to live yet. There are no words that can comfort your heart. My prayers go out to these fallen HEROES! Some Americans get too complacent with what we have and forget about who is fighting and laying down their lives daily to preserve this freedom. I wonder about things like did your son only just arrive in Iraq when this tragedy happened. He was so young. As I said words cannot comfort your heart but know that prayers are with you and your son. As a mother I know what you went through. I fear it everyday. God Bless you and your family.

Such a handsome young man. I know from mom's comments how much he was loved, and my heart aches for you. I lost my son in Iraq also June 27, 2005. He was my best friend, but I know what it means to love and support their decisions. May God bless and comfort you and your friends. Barbara Shephard, Oklahoma
