"Soldier Followed Family’s Military Service"
A Clarksville soldier was following in the footsteps of his family members when he enlisted in the Army, his family said.
Spc. Joshua Lee Plocica died Wednesday in Baghdad of wounds sustained when his vehicle hit a roadside bomb. The 20-year-old graduated from Rossview High School just a few months before he enlisted in August 2006.
Lisa Thompson, his mother, said he wanted to follow his grandfather, Army retired Chief Warrant Officer 3 Michael T. True, and his uncle, Master Sgt. William C. Clark II, in serving his country.
Thompson said he would want his friends and family to celebrate, not mourn, his death.
Plocica is also survived by his father and sister..
