Wednesday’s Hero
Sgt. Anton J. Hiett
25 years old from Mount Airy, North Carolina
391st Engineer Battalion, Army Reserve
March 12, 2006
Misty Hiett, the widow of Sgt. Anton Hiett, said in an interview that he, Sgt. Hiett, asked to transfer to the 391st Engineering Battalion when it looked like his reserve unit would not be deployed.
Sgt. Hiett was a truck driver who joined the military right out of high school because he “wanted to go help out” during the current conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. After his transfer to the 391st, he was deployed to Afghanistan on April 22, 2005.
On March 12, 2006, Sgt. Hiett, and three fellow soldiers from the 391st, Staff Sgt. Joe Ray; Spc. Joshua Hill and Sgt. Kevin Akins, were killed when an IED detonated near their Humvee during combat operations west of Asadabad, Afghanistan. He left behind his wife and their then 2(now 4)-year-old daughter Kyra.

Why it takes so long to put anything together here
These photos have been sitting on my camera for about a month since I forgot to download them. This is why Bill loves having the kids help him put things together. This is a wardrobe unit that I bought for Will’s bedroom. Will has no closet, so we definitely needed something to help organize his clothes. His room is only 9′x11′ also so it couldn’t be too big either! Let’s just say that it took a while with his helpers to assemble this. However, I love it!
