Army Sgt. Corral was assigned to the 1st Engineer Battalion, 1st Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, Fort Riley, Kansas. Corral was killed while riding in a convoy going to Baghdad International Airport when his vehicle went out of control and rolled over. Dennis joined the Army in 1989 and later left to pursue other interests. He moved to Kearney, Nebraska in 1994 and re-entered the Army in 1997.
