SPC Scott Q. Larson, Jr., 1-37 AR, was killed in action at age 22 when his convoy was ambushed in Baghdad, Iraq on this day in 2004. He died two weeks before he was to go on mid-tour leave. I did not know or serve with Larson, but from what I have gathered he was a young man of great Christian faith who found himself serving in the Army. Larson lies in repose at the Houston VA National Cemetery in Section S2, Site 10. Please take time today to honor Scott’s memory, his selfless service and noble sacrifice. Courage Conquers and Bandits Do Not Fail Those With Whom They Serve(d)!
