"'Soldier's soldier' is laid to rest; Accident claimed life of Swansea sergeant in Iraq" by Matt Collette, Globe Correspondent | February 8, 2009
SWANSEA - Near the end of the funeral service yesterday morning, an officer called roll, and the soldiers who were present responded, one-by-one, as their names were called. But then he sounded Sergeant Kyle Harrington's name, and there was silence.
"Sergeant Harrington," First Sergeant James Rowell called out to the silent room.
"Sergeant Kyle Harrington." Silence, again.
"Sergeant Kyle Jonathan Harrington," he said, a final time.
Harrington died Jan. 24 in Basra, Iraq, in what his family has described as a forklift accident. Yesterday, his body lay inside a gray and silver coffin at Birchcrest Home of Waring Sullivan, a Swansea funeral home, as friends and family bid him farewell.
The Department of Defense said yesterday only that Harrington's death was not combat-related and is conducting an investigation. About 200 people attended the 24-year-old soldier's funeral, including his parents, sister, wife, and children, Joshua, 5, and Kaylee, 2. Governor Deval Patrick was one of several civic and military officials who attended the funeral, but did not speak during the service.
After the funeral, Harrington was buried at nearby Vinnicum Woods Cemetery. During the 90-minute service, Harrington was remembered as a well-liked man who was admired by his fellow soldiers....
Harrington's mother-in-law, Debra Ryan, described the enormity of the grief that struck her daughter upon learning of Harrington's death.
"A lot of people have come up to me and said, 'What do you say to a 22-year-old girl who just lost her husband? What do you say to her two children,' " she said. "You tell them that you love them. You take them to the park. You're there for them."
Yeah, somehow sorry just doesn't cut it.

"Soldier dies in accident in Iraq, wife says; Swansea graduate was on second tour" by Matt Collette, Globe Correspondent | January 26, 2009Just a reminder: sent there on a PACK of LIES, readers!
Just after his graduation from Swansea's Joseph Case High School in 2003, Kyle J. Harrington joined the Army. He was deployed to Iraq in 2005 and was more than halfway through his second tour of duty when he died Saturday, his wife, Faith, said yesterday.
Harrington, 24, a sergeant, had married his high school sweetheart, Faith (Ryan), before leaving for Iraq. They lived on the Fort Lewis Army base in Washington state. Faith Harrington said her husband's death was not combat related but occurred as a result of a fork-lift accident.
Though the Army did not give her specific details, she was told that an investigation is underway. "They won't tell me anything," said Harrington, who said she could not say where in Iraq her husband had been stationed.
A spokeswoman for the Defense Department said she could not confirm or deny Harrington's death, citing a congressionally mandated timeline that prohibits releasing information on military deaths until 24 hours after all family members are notified.
Harrington died two days after Army National Guard Specialist Matthew Pollini, 21, of Rockland, was killed in Iraq when the Humvee he was riding in on a military base rolled over. Since the war began in 2003, 4,232 servicemen and women have been killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom, not counting Harrington.
He had two children, Joshua, 5, and Kaylee, 2. "He was an amazing dad and one of a kind," his wife said. Harrington came from a family tradition of service, with his father and grandfather veterans of the military.
"He joined the Army because he had to take care of his family," said Lisa Milv, a family friend and member of the 542d Maintenance Company, in which Harrington also served.
Brian McCann, the principal of Joseph Case High, said he remembered Harrington as a "spirited young man" who was very committed to his girlfriend and friends. "This is really our first student who has passed on in war, and it’s tragic," McCann said. "Our hearts go out to the Harrington family, his wife, and his children, but also the whole community who will be affected when they learn of his loss."
Tara Young, a family friend whose husband was stationed in Iraq with Harrington, said his fellow soldiers are distraught over the death. "My husband was really close to him, he's taking it really hard," Young said by telephone from Harrington's home. "All the guys are really upset. I've been with my husband for four years, and I've never seen him so upset."
Harrington was easy to get along with and well liked by his fellow soldiers. "He always made people laugh," said Milv. "He was a happy- go-lucky person."
The last time Harrington was home, on a mid-tour leave from Iraq in October, he recorded a tape for his children. His wife played her husband’s good night message for Joshua and Kaylee each night.
"His kids and his wife always came first," Young said.And NO APOLOGIES for the LIES that SENT HIM THERE and were BLARED in your shit sheet pages, 'eh, Globe?
