Sgt. Kenneth J. Schall
22 years old from Peoria, Arizona
2nd Battalion, 70th Armor Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 1st Armored Division
May 22, 2005
“It was very tough not to be touched by him in some way,” said Terri Schall, Sgt. Kenneth Schall’s mother.
Kenneth Schall was enrolled at Glendale Community College and
was studying to become a history teacher when the country was attacked
on September 11, 2001. The event spurred him to join the Army. He
served a four and a half month tour in Iraq in 2004 and returned in
February of 2005.
Terri Schall last spoke to her son on Mother’s Day in 2005. “He
sounded great — tired — but he said he was doing OK”, she said. Sgt.
Kenneth Schall died when the Humvee he was riding in was involved in an
accident in Yusafiyah, Iraq.
Along with his mother, Sgt. Schall is survived by his father and two younger siblings.
These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that
others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am
proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived
