When Jeremy Loveless was a senior at Gresham High School, his dad sat him down for “the talk.”

What were his goals, his career plans, Mike Loveless wondered. What did he want to do with his life?

“Dad, I don’t know what I want to be, but I know I am here to help people,” Jeremy responded.

Cpl. Jeremy M. Loveless lost his life on Wednesday, May 31, 2006, struck by small arms fire while riding in the turret of an eight-wheeled Stryker combat vehicle on patrol in Mosul, Iraq. He was 25.

In April, the Oregon Senate came together to honor Loveless, enshrining his ultimate sacrifice in law.
