He wanted to learn as much about the culture and the people as he could. He believed if he respected their ways, God would watch over them and make people less angry on both sides.
— Tanya Duplantier, widow
An avid toy collector, Duplantier brought yo-yos and Barbies to Iraq to give to children. He planned to enlist in the regular Army once his National Guard tour was over.

1 memory of Arnold
A cousin, a brother, a friend; we lost all three in June of 2005. More than three years have passed, but time wears hard. We continue to this day to keep our family closer than ever, but there's still one sea empty at the table. Requiescat in Pace.
