Cpl. Robert F. Weber of Cincinnati, Ohio was a Dater High School graduate, class of 2003. He signed up for the Army in 2004, considering the long-term benefits, such as a college degree that would lead him to his dream of being a history teacher. But he also wanted to defend his country. Bobby, as he was known by, is the only child of Cathleen and Martin Weber. He was currently serving his second tour of duty and on his last mission, Bobby served as the gunner aboard a Humvee. After the vehicle's driver swerved unexpectedly, the Humvee hit an embankment and flipped. In addition to his parents, he is also survived by his grandfathers, Robert J. Weber and Frank Niehoff. He was 22. At the graveside service, Bobby received a 21-round salute from part of a 10-man funeral detail from Fort Knox. At high noon, a soldier played taps. His parents received his Bronze Star, his Army Commendation Medal and a tenderly folded American flag.
