Cpl. Jeremy Bouffard of Middlefield, Massachusetts attended Gateway Regional High School in nearby Huntington and was also home-schooled for a time. He stood out as a leader from an early age and stood up for what was right. He was married and had a son and is also survived by three sisters and his parents. His father is a lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserve. Jeremy received many honors during his military service, including the Bronze Star, Combat Action Badge, Combat Infantryman Badge and the Parachutist Badge also known as Jump Wings. The avid Red Sox fan was clear-headed and positive about his future. He was killed along with all others on board the UH-60 Black Hawk that crashed in northern Iraq due to a mechanical problem. He was one of the 14 U.S. soldiers killed when a Black Hawk helicopter crashed.
Additional recovered remains were interred at Arlington National Cemetery in October 2008. A marker bears the names of 10 Schofield soldiers and four helicopter crew members were killed when their Black Hawk helicopter crashed on Aug. 22, 2007, during a nighttime mission in Multaka, Iraq.
