Sgt. Keelan L. Moss was remembered by friends and family as a devoted husband and loving father. He was born in Little Rock, raised in Houston, and entered the service soon after he graduated from high school as an honor student. He was stationed at Fort Sill in Oklahoma at the time of his deployment to Operation Iraqi Freedom. Sgt. Moss was deployed in April and was heading home for an early Thanksgiving with his family. Tragically, he was killed with 15 of his colleagues when their transport helicopter was shot down in route to Baghdad International Airport. He is now buried at the Arkansas State Veteran's Cemetery in Little Rock. In the words of his mother, Velma Deawayne, "I am very, very proud of my son. He will always be my baby, and I couldn't have asked for a better son. I take comfort in knowing he is in heaven with our heavenly father." My thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Jennifer; his son, Keelan Daniel; his wife's children, Marjani and Dakari; his mother; and to all of those who knew and loved him.
