Josh is the grandson of Emma Julia Milam Byers and great-grandson of Charles Llewellyn Milam.
He was killed
on Wednesday, July 23, 2003 when his convoy
was attacked in Iraq. Capt. Byers was
buried with full military honors on Saturday, August 2 at the Lisbon
Presbyterian Church Cemetery,
the resting place of many of the
Llewellyn Wade Milam family.
Capt. Byers' death in battle is the highest example of the love
this family has for America,
and their willingness to lay their lives on
the line for Freedom.
It has been this way for 227 years.
