Seeley, 27, of New Brunswick, was a Mi’kmaq indian on his second tour in Iraq, who had served in the Canadian armed forces, and the U.S. Marines before joining the U.S. Army. He was due home Saturday when he was killed in action on patrol.
"Betty Ann Lavallee, chief of the New Brunswick Aboriginal Peoples Council, in a statement expressed pride in Seeley. ‘Like so many young aboriginal men and women … Seeley volunteered to serve without regard for what he was being asked to do.’"
Said his mother: "He fully believed that people were being hurt who shouldn’t be hurt and it was their job to protect them. He believed Saddam Hussein had to be stopped and that’s what he did."
