As Alfeeria Johnson sat at her computer for her weekly e-mail chat with her son, Sgt. Carl Thomas, the two shared how much they looked forward to seeing each other in a few weeks and planned to celebrate the occasion with a barbecue.
"He sounded OK, and he told me to wait on making my flight arrangements," said Johnson of Inkster. "He was supposed to be home in October."
The e-mail chat on Sept. 12 was the last time the two communicated. Thomas, 29, died in Baghdad, Iraq, the next day while driving an Army vehicle over a land mine, his mother said. The Department of Defense said the incident is under investigation.
