Honoring CPL Andy D. Anderson

2006-10-26T22:40:00.000-05:00

We invite you to join us Friday, October 27 at 6:00 pm for a ceremony to honor Corporal Andy D. Anderson.

CPL Andy D. Anderson died on June 06, 2006 at age 24 while serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom. His unit was finishing up work for the day building barracks in Ramadi when the area was hit by mortar fire - he and one other soldier were killed.

CPL Anderson, known in the area as a star athlete, grew up in Falls Church and attended a Seven Corners area high school. After giving college a try, Andy joined the Army and said that it changed his life; he wanted to make it a career, doing what he loved. He was serving as part of the Army's 46th Engineer Battalion from Fort Rucker, Alabama, and his twin brothers are both currently serving in the Army Reserve.

Andy will be forever honored and remembered by his friends and family as a kind, smiling soul with strong family values. While home on leave in May, he proposed to his high school sweetheart - the wedding was to take place when his unit returned. He also bought a dining table as a Mother's Day present for his mom. Legacy.com's guestbook dedicated to Andy contains many of the heartfelt emotions that embodied these and many other of the relationships he nurtured with people from around the country.

The post will be honoring CPL Anderson's life and offering a few mementos to his family. Some of his friends and family will be in attendance and speak to remember his life as well.
