On Thursday, Private First Class Daniel Agami was killed by a roadside bomb. He was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star.
In a standing-room-only crowd that snaked outside the chapel, Pfc. Daniel Agami was memorialized Tuesday by hundreds of friends – and even some strangers from the local chapter of Jewish War Veterans – as a happy-go-lucky man who was profoundly patriotic.
Agami, 25, who grew up in Broward County, was killed in Baghdad on Thursday.
