Dane R. Balcon was 3 years old the day he told his mother he wanted to be a soldier.By 19, he had fulfilled his dream to be in the Army and serve in Iraq, where he was deployed in July. Just months before, he had the word "Soldier" tattoed down the side of one of his arms.
On Wednesday, Private First Class Balcon was killed in Balad by a road-side bomb.
"Now he's one of God's soldiers," said Balcon's mother, Carla Sizer of Colorado Springs.
Sizer found out about her son's death the way most military families do — from Army soldiers at her doorstep.
"I pulled up to my driveway and I saw that car and I saw soldiers in their military service dress, and I knew," Sizer recalled Friday. "I Knew they were going to see me."
"I was so devastated, and I still am," she said. "I don't think I'll ever be the same."

Gods army will welcome him. It ain`t real ofcourse.
Like the suicide bombers that got paid out about $20.000 to their family`s, this guy mother will get a few bucks.
A mind is a terrible thing to brainwash.
