N.C. man among soldiers killed in helicopter crash in Iraq
wcnc.com Associated Press Pfc. Joey Whitener spent his childhood wanting a military career. He got one, serving in Iraq as a member of the 101st Airborne Division. But the birth of his son on Sept. 13 changed Whitener's priorities. "He was so happy to be home with his friends and family and his son," Whitener's wife, Beth, told the Asheville Citizen-Times, recalling her husband surprising her by taking leave to be home for Tristan's birth. "His son was his pride and joy. The first time they put him in his arms, he cried. "He just didn't want to leave. He knew it would be six months or longer before he got to come home and see us again," she said. Joey Whitener won't be coming home at all.
