Sgt. Keelan L. Moss of Houston, Texas is a 1998 graduate of Eisenhower High School. That same year he enlisted in the United States Army completing basic training and Advanced Individual Training at Fort Sill. He was deployed in April of 2003 and was expected back stateside to celebrate an early Thanksgiving. Something he was looking forward to, being able to see his wife and children and other family who were planning to come to see him. That visit was to take place in just two more days and he was so excited about it, that he was having difficulty sleeping. Keelan was a gifted writer who wrote letters home that seemed almost poetic. He also wrote his children often. Keelan killed at age 23 in an attack on a CH-47 Chinook helicopter near Fallujah, Iraq. He was one of six soldiers from that base killed in an attack on a CH-47 Chinook helicopter carrying troops to the Baghdad International Airport. He leaves his wife, Jenifer, three children, Keelan, Marjani and Dakari, his mother, Velma Moss-Deawayne, a brother, Ralph, a sister, Travanna, among others.
