1st Iraqi laid to rest at Arlington
EFLAn Iraqi pilot and four U.S. airmen were together aboard an Iraqi air force plane when it crashed in May. Their remains were buried together yesterday at Arlington National Cemetery. Iraqi air force Capt. Ali Hussam Abass Alrubaeye, 34, was the first Iraqi buried at the United States' premier military cemetery. "This will signify that these warriors were training together, they went into battle together, they died together, and it's only proper that they be buried together," Lt. Gen. Michael Wooley, commander of the Air Force's Special Operations Command, said before the service. RIP Posted by: DragonFly 2005-08-12 |
