Santo Domingo.- The Dominican-born U.S. Army sergeant Jose Enrique Ulloa, who died in Iraq, was buried Thursday in his native province La Vega (central), where some mourners called him “our hero."
Ulloa, 23, died August 8 in Baghdad when a bomb exploded near his military patrol vehicle.
The soldier was buried in the cemetery at his hometown Jima Arriba, 120 kilometers north of the capital.
