Lake, Chad Army Sgt. Chad Lake of Ocala was among three soldiers who ventured out
in a Humvee in the wee hours Sunday to investigate rocket fire that was
bombarding his camp area in Balad, Iraq.
It was cold, below 30 degrees, when the military vehicle failed to negotiate a
turn and overturned in an icy river. Members of Lake's platoon were
desperate. They jumped in the freezing river and tried in vain to save Lake
and the others. Lake, 26, a member of the Army's 5th Squadron, 7th Cavalry,
3rd Infantry Division, died, along with two other soldiers, one from Iowa,
the other from Louisiana.
Lake's family in Ocala said he loved the Army and was a strong leader. He
made them proud. Born and raised in Ocala, Lake graduated from North
Marion High School in 1996. He and a couple of buddies enlisted in the
Army in 1999.
He has since re-enlisted twice, said his stepfather, Worthy Farr. Lake started
out in the Army's air-defense unit, Farr said. When that unit was phased out,
Lake was transferred to the cavalry as a scout.
"His mother asked him what that meant," Farr said. "He said it's when you
see the enemy and hopefully they don't see you." Farr said Lake excelled in
the military and has been to Iraq three times. He served in Desert Storm and
Operation Iraqi Freedom and was deployed again Jan. 10.
Farr said the family heard about Lake's death Sunday. Since then, dozens of
friends have stopped by to remember him. Lake's father, Ken Lake, said his
son loved sports and entertaining his two nephews and a niece. "I'm very
proud of him. He was a good kid," he said through tears. Farr said Lake
would be remembered as friendly, likable and easygoing. "This kid didn't get
upset about anything," Farr said. "He was a well-liked guy."

He was a 20 year veteran of the U.S. Army, having served during Desert

Lamberson, Randall Dana Lamberson said attraction was immediate to her childhood sweetheart,
U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Randall Lamberson. Their 15-year marriage left her
with memories of a funny, handsome and courteous Springfield native devoted
to his family.
"He had a sense of humor, and he never lost it, even though it was a serious
job," Dana Lamberson said.
The 36-year-old Kickapoo High School graduate died April 10 in Balad, Iraq,
from injuries suffered after an explosive device detonated near his vehicle in
Ar Ramadi the day before.
Lamberson's family will receive friends and relatives from 6 to 8 p.m.
Thursday at Calvary Baptist Church on U.S. 60 in Republic. Funeral services
are at 10 a.m. Friday at Calvary Baptist Church. A funeral procession will be
led to Missouri Veterans Cemetery in Springfield.
Bill Lamberson of Lampe, Randall's father, said the family appreciated local
residents' support as they made funeral arrangements.
"It's the most difficult thing a parent can do," he said.
As a boy, Randall Lamberson was a fun-loving youth who wanted to be a
firefighter or police officer, his father recalled. He loved baseball and animals,
Bill Lamberson said. He played for a Little League team and had a dog,
parakeets and gerbils.
He kept physically fit as a teenager by exercising and eating proper foods, his
father said.
Randall Lamberson joined the U.S. Army in November 1988, serving in
Operation Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Bill Lamberson was not surprised when his son excelled in the military.
"He was an excellent father, a perfect son and a professional soldier," he said.
"He was 110 percent what he needed to be."
Dana Lamberson said her husband joined the military for adventure and a
desire to serve the country. He was later inspired by the "hope of freedom" he
saw among Iraqi children during his mission there, she said.
The Republic-area native met her spouse when he was a 12-year-old boy
growing up in Battlefield. A few years later, they started dating.
Randall Lamberson's military career took his family including children Kelsi,
13, and Evan, 10 to numerous posts around the world. His final assignment
was with the 101st Airborne Division in Fort Campbell, Ky.
Kevin Lamberson of Clever, one of Randall's brothers, said his sibling could be
soft-hearted. As a child, Randall Lamberson got upset if something bad
happened to one of his animals, he said.
The soldier was allowed to come home from Iraq a couple of years ago just
before his mother's death, his brother said. The death seemed difficult on him,
he said.
"He was the toughest and bravest guy I knew, but he had that side to him," he
said.
In lieu of flowers, U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Randall Lamberson's family
requested donations be made to any US Bank for the Kelsi and Evan
Lamberson Education Fund.

Liebetreu, Joseph M. Funeral services for Joseph M. Liebetreu, the 43-year-old former Ludington
man slain last week in the Houston area, have been scheduled for 11 a.m.
Friday at Oak Grove Funeral Home and Cremation Center in Ludington. The
family will receive friends for visitation 6-8 p.m. today and 10 a.m. until the
time of service Friday. Burial will be in Lakeview Cemetery in Ludington.
The oil company executive and his fiancee, 40-year-old Amandre Wilson,
were gunned down at Wilson’s Houston Heights townhouse early Dec. 15
just after returning from a fund-raiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters.
It appears robbery was the motive, according to Houston police. The front
door was kicked in, and Liebetreu’s wallet and Wilson’s purse were missing.
Liebetreu worked for Exxon Mobil, where he was a team leader in logistics.
He was a member of St. Martha’s Catholic Church of Kingwood, Texas, and
also attended services with Wilson at the Second Baptist Church of Houston.
He was a 1980 graduate of Ludington High School and that year entered the
U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., with a congressional
nomination. He later transferred to Michigan State University, where he was
in the Army’s Reserve Officers Training Corps.
He was commissioned an Army officer in 1984 and served until 1991, based
primarily in Virginia but traveling extensively. He had a leadership role in
the 1990 U.S. deployment to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait during Operation
Desert Shield and was later decorated with the Bronze Star for distinguished
service during the First Gulf War.
Following his honorable discharge, he worked in a series of logistics-related
jobs before joining Exxon Mobil in Houston. Liebetreu is survived by his
parents, Roger and Donna Liebetreu of Ludington; his daughter, Natalie
Liebetreu, of the Houston area; his sister, Vickie Williams of Ludington; two
brothers, David Liebetreu of Tennessee and Donald Liebetreu of Grand
Haven. He was preceded in death by a baby sister, Nancy.

Lilley, Arthur L. When Elizabeth Lilley sent a package to her son serving in Afghanistan on
Tuesday, she wrote a message on the outside: "If undeliverable, give it to
any soldier."
Her son, U.S. Army Master Sgt. Arthur L. Lilley, 35, was killed Friday
during a firefight in the Paktika Province, near Shkin, Afghanistan, military
officials announced Saturday. Lilley, of Smithfield, Pa., was on combat
patrol when he was killed by enemy small-arms fire. He was a Special
Forces sergeant assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 7th Special Forces Group
(Airborne) at Ft. Bragg.
Lilley joined the Army in 1990, serving with the 101st Airborne Division in
operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. He served in Italy before joining
Special Forces in 1996, and he went to Ft. Bragg in 2000 as part of the 96th
Civil Affairs Battalion. He was assigned to his current unit in August 2005.
Joining the military was "all he ever dreamed of, and I don't know why," his
mother said. Lilley wanted to be an air traffic controller for the Air Force but
was colorblind. So the Army became an option he never regretted, she said.
It was either the military way, God's way or nothing for Lilley, who was
active at St. Andrews United Methodist Church in Fayetteville, his mother
said. Lilley was a youth minister there while his wife, Christine, ran the
church school. The high school sweethearts, who have two children, would
have celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary in August.
Lilley's tour in Afghanistan was to be his last. Elizabeth Lilley last talked to
her son a week ago. He was about to spend a lot of time in the field, but his
tone was upbeat. He gave his parents a list of goodies to send, including
dried fruit, trail mix, Slim Jims and his favorite -- Doritos.
For years, Elizabeth Lilley has sent her son packages, which take up to two
weeks to deliver. She can't explain why she wrote what she did on this last
one.
"I don't know why I did that," she said.
Lilley is survived by his wife; daughter, Mackenzie, 9; son, Cole, 7; parents,
Arthur and Elizabeth Lilley of Smithfield, Pa.; one brother, two half-
brothers, two half-sisters; grandmothers and grandfathers.
A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. today at St. Andrews United
Methodist Church in Fayetteville.

Lentz, Lawrence “Larry”
Remembrance: Lentz was a pilot, leader at heart
By Jan Jonas
Tribune Reporter
January 21, 2006
As a kid, Lawrence "Larry" Lentz used to tag along behind his older brother,
Bill Lentz.
"We were always playing tricks on him and trying to get rid of him," Lentz
said.
As Larry Lentz grew into a man, he became less of a follower and more of a
leader.
Lentz, born Jan. 21, 1945, was 59 when he died of cancer Jan. 13 at the
Veterans Medical Center in Albuquerque.
Lentz graduated in 1962 from St. Michael's High School in Santa Fe,
attended St. Michael's College there. He was living in Santa Fe when he
died.
In the mid-1960s, Lentz joined the Marines, becoming a helicopter pilot
during the Vietnam War, flying rescue missions in 1966 and 1967.
"If it was a hot LZ (landing zone) and they (soldiers) were in trouble, he was
one of the first that made sure they were taken care of," said Col. Jack Jones
II, a friend who served in the Guard with Lentz.
When Lentz returned to Santa Fe in the early 1970s, he finished his
bachelor's degree in history at St. Michael's College.
In 1973, he joined the New Mexico Army National Guard. He came in as a
captain.
Lentz, Jones said, soon realized if he wanted to advance in rank, he would
have to give up flying full time, so he reverted to a non-commissioned rank
of warrant officer. It let him stay in the cockpit.
Lentz flew injured prisoners to Albuquerque for treatment after the prison
riots in Santa Fe in 1981.
Just before the riots, some prisoners escaped, Quigley said.
Fearful Santa Fe residents wanted helicopters flying over their homes. Lentz
spent hours lighting up the area.
As an Army National Guardsman during the first Gulf War, Lentz
volunteered to serve there. He flew the C23 Sherpa, Jones said.
"It's and ugly airplane, a stubby thing with two engines used for moving
troops, personnel, VIPs and cargo," Jones said.
Jones teased Lentz about flying such an ugly plane.
"Larry didn't care as long as he was flying," Jones said.
In the late 1990s, when he was back in Santa Fe flying for the Guard, he took
a position flying in support of the Drug Enforcement Agency, customs and
the Department of Defense.
Flying the Kiowa OH58 helicopter, Lentz's job was to help stop the flow of
drugs from Mexico to the United States along the border.
He also was the first safety officer the Guard had. The unit has about a 28-
year accident free record, said Maj. John Fishburn.
"One of the biggest reasons was because he was so safe and was by the
book," Fishburn said.
Accidents can be part of any pilot's experience, and Lentz took chances but
only when the risks were low.
CW5 Richard Quigley, a high ranking chief warrant officer in the guard,
worked with Lentz since May 1974. Quigley flew several rescue missions
with Lentz in the mountains and gorges throughout the state.
Fishburn said one time a man drove his car off the road into a gorge near Los
Alamos. Lentz recovered the person who was hurt.
"It was windy," Fishburn said, "and the helicopter had barely enough power
to carry those folks out of there."
At his death, Lentz had clocked more than 11,000 flying hours.
One of Lentz's favorite Bible verses was Matthew 5:9. "Blessed are the
peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God."
Jones has a saying he uses to describe people he respects: "Words whisper
and actions thunder," he said. "Larry Lentz's actions have always been
thunderous."
Services were followed by interment at the Santa Fe National Cemetery on
Friday.

role of Logistics Team Lead, Polyethylene Global, where he helped lead the
international supply chain activities of this $2 billion division.
Joe was a member of St. Martha’s Catholic Church of Kingwood, Texas, and
also attended services with his fiance Amandre at the Second Baptist Church
of Houston.
Joe married Amy Wilson Liebetreu in 1992. Together they co-parented
Natalie, who was his pride, joy and best friend. They both live in the greater
Houston area.
Joe was active in direct support of activities at the Ronald McDonald House
for over a decade and was also very active in the Big Brothers and Big
Sisters of the greater Houston area. He was always active and loved golf,
working out and bike riding,, which he did routinely in Texas.

daughter, Natalie Liebetreu; sister, Vickie (Mike) Williams of Ludington;
two brothers, David (Kathy) Liebetreu of Tennessee and Donald (Kenda)

Joe will long be remembered for his commitment to his family, his fun-
loving nature and for being one of the best dads we’ll ever know. Besides
being a great son and brother, he was a great friend, a patriot and a dedicated
teammate to his colleagues at Exxon Mobile. We will all miss him. Your
journey is complete Joe. You lived it well and touched so many of us along
the way. Rest in His arms, in peace.

Long, Stephen Long, Stephen
Army Maj. Stephen Long, 39, survived Grenada and Desert Storm only to
perish in the attack on the Pentagon.
Long listed his home as Augusta but was stationed with Army Personnel
Command in Alexandria, Va.
He was at a meeting in the Pentagon when the plane hit, said Army
spokeswoman Shari Lawrence, who knew him.
"Whatever the mission, whether it was in the field or handling paperwork, he
charged ahead and got it done, but he wouldn't ask you to do anything he
wouldn't do," said Lawrence. "He had a subtle sense of humor. He would
make some comment and you would think, 'Hey, wait a minute. Is he
serious?' . . . It's very tough to take."
Long met his wife Tina while stationed at Fort Gordon. He was
commissioned from the ROTC at Augusta College. He joined the army at 18
or 19, "because the economics of the time demanded it," said his brother Bill
of Martinsville, Ind. "It was hard to get a good job, and the military provided
him opportunity."
