Teen from Queens killed in Iraq

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Le Ron Wilson was so eager to join the Army that for his 17th birthday, he asked his mother to sign enlistment papers.

Less than two years later, the Queens teenager was dead — killed by an explosive July 6 in Iraq.

“I always said whatever he chose I would support him,” Simona Francis said of her son. “That’s what he truly wanted.”

Francis, who lives in the Brookville section of Queens, said she and her son were so close and open with each other that he was “like a buddy” to her. “We almost didn’t have a mother-son relationship,” she said.

His mother said that Wilson, an Army private, had always been fascinated by weapons and camouflage, even...

  Such a handsome young man. I know from mom's comments how much he was loved, and my heart aches for you. I lost my son in Iraq also June 27, 2005. He was my best friend, but I know what it means to love and support their decisions. May God bless and comfort you and your friends. Barbara Shephard, Oklahoma

  To Le Ron's Mom. I too am a Army Mom. My heart goes out to you as a Mom. I too have a son in the Army and is about to go back to Iraq for the second time and this time probably right to Bagdahd. I am heartbroken that your son was only 18 years old. He didn't even begin to live yet. There are no words that can comfort your heart. My prayers go out to these fallen HEROES! Some Americans get too complacent with what we have and forget about who is fighting and laying down their lives daily to preserve this freedom. I wonder about things like did your son only just arrive in Iraq when this tragedy happened. He was so young. As I said words cannot comfort your heart but know that prayers are with you and your son. As a mother I know what you went through. I fear it everyday. God Bless you and your family.

Blue C. Rowe

I am the Chaplain, along with 1SG Obalabi, who made this notification. This was my fifth death notification in 2009. I remembered this one like it was yesterday, and I routinely think about 1SG Rowe’s wife and their son, who was seven at the time. This notification stands out to me because we had to come back to the house a few times because no one was home. We finally saw a light on around 2130, and I and 1SG O went to the door and knocked. 1SG Rowe’s wife answered the door, and it was clear that his wife was not registering why we were there. She did invite us, and we sat down at the table, and ISG O made the notification. 1SG Rowe’s wife said, "Are you sure?" She asked that question five times, and I finally said, " Ma’am, we would not be here if we were not sure. Her response to us was, I just spoke to him a couple of days ago, and he was supposed to come home next week. She immediately got up from the table, called her dad, and notified him. She collapsed to the floor and was crying. The 1SG and I just stood there. We were there for a while, and I remembered that when she asked me to pray, I had to pause a few times to keep from losing it. Cindy, I thought about your husband through the years, and I often wondered how you and your son are doing. I have often prayed for you and your family. And I thank your husband for his sacrifice to our country. I do hope you see this, and I will continue to pray for you and your family. God Bless You Chaplain Will Strong Jr. US Army Retired Romans 8:37

Jose L. Montenegro Jr

Philip A. Murphy-Sweet

Phil worked for me when he volunteered to deploy to Iraq with the Joint Contracting Command. He was a great officer, a great friend and an incredible husband/father. He was just a couple of days away from returning from his deployment. I received an email from him on 5 April requesting to stay a bit longer so he could finish the job started. I had not yet responded to his email when I was notified by our Commanding Office on Easter morning that Phil had been killed. Miss you Phil!

David A Wilkey Jr

A good young man. My son's best friend.

Jose Ricardo Flores-Mejia

It's been 20 years since your passing... However, I never forgotten the day you told me I am married, I am going to have a baby, and day your son was born... You touched some many lives in different ways in your brief time on this earth in ways others can't imagine... Some people can be given a life time on this earth and accomplish nothing, and there are some people who are given a short time and accomplish so much... You Mr. Flores-Mejia aka Ricky was that person and soldier who accomplish so much in your shoft tme... As I see the days pass by, and the war seems to be a distant memory, your memory is still alive in my life, and still on this and like other days with my grandchildren I sit back like we did many times and listen to those West Coast oldies... "Never Forgotten"

Frank E. Adamski III

To the family of Frank Adamski, including his wife and daughter, my sincere condolences. I plan to make sure he is never forgotten.
