** TSgt. Sergeant Norton was
killed when his Humvee was hit by an IED. He was assigned to the 586th
Expeditionary Mission Support Group in Iraq. TSgt Norton was the trainer
at Elmendorf AFB in Alaska, but the tasking came down for a Tech Sgt in
Iraq to pull convoys so he was deployed without a dog.
