Last week, Maine Governor Janet Mills signed a bill into law that will pay tribute to one of Maine s lost soldiers of freedom. Army Sgt. Blair William Emery was only 24 years-old when an improvised explosive device detonated beside the Humvee that he was in while serving as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom back in November of 2007. Emery was the second soldier to die that year from the small town of Lee on Route 6 in Maine, the first being Sgt. Joel House, 22, who was also killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq some 12 miles north of Baghdad. Meanwhile, Sgt. Emery, who was assigned to the 504th Military Police Battalion, 42nd Military Police Brigade, in Fort Lewis, Washington, had already been wounded twice earlier in 2007, suffering a concussion when another roadside bomb went off in March and then also by being hit by a bullet fragment sometime after that as well.
