Jonathan L Gifford

Macon, Illinois

March 23, 2003

Jonathan Gifford was always for the underdog, so relatives say it was fitting that he would be fighting for the Iraqi people's freedom. Gifford, of Decatur, Ill., and based at Camp Lejeune, died March 23 in combat. Survivors include his mother, Vicky Langley, and a 4-year-old daughter.
