His unit was traveling in a Bradley vehicle when they came under attack in Salman Pak from enemy forces with small-arms fire and an improvised explosive device. Cody attended schools in Coweta and Haskell, Oklahoma before joining the military. When 9/11 happened, he said he wanted to join the fight on terrorism so in November 2006 he joined the Army. After his basic training, he returned to his hometown as a recruiter before being deployed on September 28. While in Iraq, he received an expert marksmanship award but in less than a month over there he was killed. Cody was a good kid – everyone loved him. He was outgoing, never got in trouble, and didn't do drugs. He was planning on using his GI Bill on his education when he got out of the military. The National Defense Service Medal and Iraqi Campaign Medal were awarded to him. Cody had this to say about heroes on his personal webpage - Heroes are normal people who have done something that is not expected of them. Ever soldier/sailor that has ever wore a uniform to serve this county is a hero. Make a Soldiers/Sailors day, when you see one let them know that you are proud of the decision that they have made. With out them, We would not be able to live as free Americans. MY heros are any soldier thts true to the army values! my father , DS KNICELY, DS KNOWER, DS McCLAIN, DS CLARK, DS ROSS, AND SRGNT. T.K.
