PELHAM, N.H. As the hearse carrying Army Sgt. Daniel Gionets casket rolled by Pelham High School, hundreds of students lined the sunny street Friday to pay their respects to the graduate killed in Iraq.
It was the same scene outside the towns elementary and middle schools pupils holding American flags formed a human guardrail, watching silently as the motorcade made its way to St. Patricks Church for Gionets funeral.
American flags also adorned the church, where mourners filled the pews and a downstairs room where a video screen was set up. The service was followed by burial at Gibson cemetery in Pelham.
Gionet, a newlywed and Army medic, was killed June 4 when an explosion hit his tank in Taji, Iraq. He was 23, and the sixth New Hampshire serviceman killed overseas this year. His widow, Katrina, is 19. They married last November, and he was expected back...

The good seem to leave us too quickly while the rest of us enjoy the gifts of their lives. I never knew you but thanks Dan for your sacrifice. I am a dad of two sons who are/have wrestled in your tournament and although we love the tournament we'd rather you were still among us. Thank You again. Rik Taylor
