Pfc. Andrew M. Ward of Renton attended Charles Lindbergh High School and later earned a GED diploma before enlisting in August 2003. He joined the Army partly to experience other cultures, but he mainly wanted to serve his country. He was a "gentle soul" who loved the outdoors and getting away from all of the materialistic lifestyles. Andrew was a loving, caring and forgiving son. He joined the military to serve his country and a chance to travel and experience other cultures. The Army helped open a lot of doors and changed him, all for the better. His family and friends saw the change, commenting that it really made a man out of him. The family supported his decision to join the Army because they knew it would be an opportunity for him to develop. He had been in the Army for only 16 months and had volunteered for service in Korea, where he served before he was transferred to Iraq in September. He preferred old-fashioned writing over the e-mail and cell phones that are so fashionable with other soldiers. Andrew is survived by his parents and 4 brothers. He was 25.
