In this photo taken Thursday Aug. 4, 2011, the gravesite of a young soldier, Army Spc. Justin W. Hebert, killed in the infancy of the Iraq war, is seen in Silvana, Wash. Hebert’s story is sad and sadly unremarkable, a tragedy bound up in the tale of a grinding war that took young lives with grievous regularity. Nearly one-third of U.S. troops killed in Iraq were age 18 to 21. Well over half were in the lowest enlisted ranks. For Hebert, the Army was an adventure. But it didn’t last long. (AP Photo/Robert Burns)AP - In a hilltop graveyard overlooking this Stillaguamish River village lies a young soldier killed in the infancy of the Iraq war.
