"Not my Daddy! Not my Daddy!"

Edited on Fri Apr-06-07 01:21 PM by Blue_In_AK

Seven-year-old Cierra Becker looked out the window of her Anchorage home Tuesday and saw the men in uniform walking solemnly to the door.

Cierra knew.

"Not my daddy!" she cried. "Not my daddy!"

But it was her daddy. Staff Sgt. Shane Becker, 35, a paratrooper stationed at Fort Richardson and Cierra's father, died in a firefight Tuesday morning south of Baghdad in Iraq. This is what the men who came to the door Tuesday told his wife, Crystal, Cierra and the new baby, Cheyenna, born in February.
