The body of a U.S. soldier found in the Euphrates River in Iraq was identified Wednesday as a California man who was abducted with two comrades a week and a half ago, a relative said.

Military officials told the family of Pfc. Joseph Anzack Jr. of Torrance that a commanding officer identified the body, but that DNA tests were still pending.

"They told us, 'We're sorry to inform you the body we found has been identified as Joe,'" said the soldier's aunt, Debbie Anzack. "I'm in disbelief."

I'm sure you will be forgiving what John Edwards will be doing this Memorial Day, help me to try not to think about it.

Link? If the body did show signs of torture, I would expect our boys to open a real can of whoop ass in the near future.

Do we really need to see the word” comrades” in this AP article. I know they ..the MSM... are leftists but this is ridiculous.

Put up a rig in his name and give his family a royalty for 100 years. This is reserved for the guys who are done like this. Pay those #$$#@$@@!! back with a promise to defend his memory for 100 years.

But wait a while and let the Iraqis do it. And with a royalty commiserate with this American’s sacrifice. Like you see from a legal settlement. The Iraqi government need to take care of these guy’s families.
