08 23 2006 - In high school, they were the Warriors of West Branch. And nine of them became warriors after high school, too. Out of a sense of duty, service. But something happened on the way to that homecoming parade. Carey Meissner holds a photograph of her son Lance Cpl. Dan McVicker in the front yard of her Ohio home. McVicker, 20, was killed October 6, 2005 when a roadside bomb detonated beneath the Humvee he was riding in outside Al Qaim, Iraq. Please read, Pride and Patriotism. (Times photo by Brian Cassella)
