EL PASO -- A Fort Bliss military policeman died Monday of wounds he received in Baghdad, Iraq, when a roadside bomb exploded next to his vehicle, post officials said Wednesday in a news release.
Cpl. Gary L. Moore, 25, was a member of the 978th Military Police Company, 93rd Military Police Battalion, which went to Iraq in June 2008 to provide training and oversight of Iraqi police. He was given the rank of corporal in January.
Moore was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart. His awards and decorations include the National Defense Service Medal and the Army Service Ribbon.
Moore, of Del City, Okla., entered the Army in January 2007 in Oklahoma City and was previously stationed at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo.
He is survived by his parents. They could not be reached.
