Cpl. Jeffrey B. Starr of Snohomish, Washington. The last time Jeffrey talked to his friend Adam, he was asking for a secret ride from the airport so he could surprise his girlfriend. He was always such a good friend to everybody. He just always wanted to get back home to his friends. Starr played soccer and went to church youth group meetings in high school and joined the military in March 2001. He had several close calls in his three tours in Iraq, including when he got caught behind enemy lines and had his armored vehicle hit by rocket-propelled grenades. There was so many close calls when he was in Fallujah that they just stopped counting. Starr was due home in June and had enrolled at Everett Community College, where he wanted to study psychology to prepare for a career in law enforcement. His mother Shellie was getting ready for him to move into the basement apartment of the family's home. He died from small arms fire while conducting combat operations against enemy forces near Ar Ramadi at age 22.
