Army Staff Sgt. Lincoln Hollinsaid was working for a construction company when he decided to join the Army. The 1993 Princeton High School graduate joined the Army in 1995 and was sent to the Middle East as an engineer in January 2003. "His main concern was that the young soldiers under him were trained properly," said his father, Dan Hollinsaid. "He wanted to take care of them." He said his son loved two things: the military and the outdoors, where he fished, hunted and four-wheeled. Hollinsaid, 27, of Malden, Ill., and based at Fort Stewart, Ga., was killed April 7.
