DESCRIPTION:The Associated Press \nALBUQUERQUE\, N.M. — A 21-year-old Navajo soldier killed in Afghanistan was described by his mother as someone who made everyone smile and his father remembered him as an outgoing man with an interest in the outdoors and art. \nNavajo Nation Council Delegate David Tom of Beclabito-Cudii and his wife\, Carolyn Tom\, flew to Dover Air Force Base\, Del.\, for a brief ceremony Aug. 20 when the body of their son\, Spc.
