Captain Joshua T. Byers was killed in action in Ramadi, Iraq on July 23, 2003. He died while serving as Fox Troop Commander of the 2/3ACR, and received the Purple Heart and Bronze Star with Valor. His parents were present for the release of this eaglet - which they named "Patriot" in honor of their son. "Patriot" was hatched in the spring of 2009 at the AEF's United States Eagle Center at Dollywood and released July 29, 2009 into the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains.
