Londono wanted to protect his country, but he also wanted to help his family financially. "When he came back home once he told me that he went to the Army for me so that my mom could pay for college for me," his 18-year-old sister, Diana, told reporters. After his death, a fund for her education was set up in his name at Members Plus Credit Union in Dorchester. Londono was killed March 13, 2004 when an improvised explosive device hit a military vehicle in Baghdad. Londono joined the Army after graduating from high school, where he had run track. He died March 13, 2004, less than three weeks before his birthday and two months before he was going to complete his military service, relatives said.
