He was a Johns Hopkins graduate, just shy of his 26th birthday and first wedding anniversary.
He was born in the Ivory Coast and grew up in France before joining the U.S. Army to become an American citizen.
He was engaged to be married and hoped to become a police officer.
He was only 21 years old and had just returned from his two-week R&R leave to visit his grandparents.
These four solders - Jon Grassbaugh, Ebe Emolo, Levi Hoover and Rodney McCandless - of the 5th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment were killed on Easter Sunday, April 7, 2007. Seems like yesterday and a lifetime ago.
