Farewell to a slain soldier
The family and friends of Pfc. Scott Barnett gather at St. Bonaventure Church
in Concord for a memorial service, Feb. 8, for the 24-year-old soldier who
died Jan. 28 in southern Iraq. The Catholic parish offered its church to
accommodate more than 300 people who came to honor the Eagle Scout who enlisted
in 2008 and was deployed to Iraq in November 2009. Barnett posthumously
received the Army commendation and good conduct medals that were presented
to his widow, Nikki (left), and his mother, Lori Barnett, during the service.
He was buried at Sacramento Valley National Cemetery in Dixon.
