PATERSON, N.J. (AP) - May 18, 2009
Sgt. Christian Bueno-Galdos was killed at a stress clinic in
Iraq last week. Officials say the 25-year-old was among five
soldiers allegedly gunned down by a distraught comrade.
His family considered burying him in Peru, where Bueno-Galdos
emigrated from with his family as a seven-year-old. But they
decided the soldier should be laid to rest in the U.S.
Carlos Bueno says he expects his son's body to be returned to
New Jersey Monday. Funeral arrangement have yet to be completed.
His son joined the Army right out of high school. He leaves
behind a wife.
