VICENZA, Italy — Pfc. Ian Morosoff was remembered at his memorial as a promising young man who loved his friends and family and reveled in his time as a paratrooper with the 173rd Airborne Brigade.
Morosoff was someone who sought out challenges and self-improvement, from running Vicenza’s punishing Monte Berico steps without pause to preparing for online college classes, said Lt. Col. Kitefre Oboho, his battalion commander.
