FAMILY LOSES ONE SON IN IRAQ, THE OTHER IN AFGHANISTAN

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) _ When Army Pfc. Andrew Velez's older brother was killed in Iraq almost two years ago, the Lubbock man escorted the soldier's body home.

Roy Velez, the soldiers' father, said military personnel came to his home to notify him that Andrew, 22 and a father of three, had been killed in Afghanistan. They did not provide details of how he died.
