Corinne Johnson of Fort Campbell was visiting her mother-in-law in Elk Grove, Calif., on Tuesday when she got a knock on the door.
It was a notification officer with news that Spc. Ty J. Johnson, 28, had been killed that day in Kirkuk, Iraq.
“You don’t expect to get that when you’re on vacation,” Mrs. Johnson said.
“I’d received an e-mail from him the night before. He always liked to talk to me before he’d go out on missions,” she said. “It made him feel better.
“He said he’d be back late that night. He never got to read my e-mail before he died.”
