The family of Sgt. 1st Class Tony Lee Knier gathers for his funeral. In the center is his wife, Bobbi Knier, mother, Betty Tidwell, right, along with the Knier children, Marcus, 8, center; Dakoda, 6, left; and Kayli, 2, front. Tony's nephew, Kevin Knier, 10, is at far left.

WELLSBORO, Pa. — Four were teenagers. Thirty were 21 or younger. The oldest was 53. They left homes in big cities and small prairie towns and Southern hamlets to answer the call of duty in Iraq, where 103 soldiers, Marines, airmen and seamen died in October — the war's fourth-deadliest month and the worst since January 2005.

On the final day of October, Sgt. 1st Class Tony Knier, who needed his mother's permission to join the Army at 16, returned in a casket to the coarse green hills of central Pennsylvania.

The casket was closed. Knier, 31, was killed Oct. 21 by a roadside bomb that fractured his skull. On a day when the American death toll in Iraq stood at 2,814, a few of the mourners came right out and said it: They weren't sure he died for a good cause. But all agreed on what serving in Iraq meant to Tony.
