From Cathy of the Living Legends Team:
Robert Pope, II, 22, was killed November 07, 2005 along with three other soldiers. They died in Baghdad, Iraq when a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device detonated near their dismounted patrol. They were assigned to the 3rd Squadron, 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, Fort Carson, CO.Robert also had two Angels, who are also grieving his loss.
He is survived by his parents, Regina and Robert Pope.
Our hearts are with Robert's family, friends, Angels, and comrades. Neither he nor those who fell with him will ever be forgotten.
(The Living Legends Team sends, among other things, condolence cards and letters to the families of fallen heroes. They've personally earned my gratitude for stepping in at the loss of some local heroes here. It's a very painful, difficult job, but one that is so important. Thanks to Cathy and her team for all they do. For more information on Living Legends, click here)
