remembering pfc Karina Lau

"LIVINGSTON, Calif. — This grief-stricken San Joaquin Valley farm town Wednesday added a new name and a new conflict to the old stone memorial that honors its dead sons from two World Wars, Korea and Vietnam.

Pfc. Lau, 20, a talented musician and high school honor student, died Nov. 2 in Iraq with 15 other soldiers when a transport helicopter, taking them to the Baghdad Airport for home leave in the United States, was struck by a shoulder-fired missile.

Lau didn't tell her parents she would be returning home from Iraq on leave; she wanted to surprise them for her 21st birthday. . .Lau's father, Augustin, is ethnically Chinese, and her mother is Mexican."
