Sgt. Gregory A. Belanger had big blue eyes and a mischievous nature _ but it was in the kitchen where he really sparkled.
"He was a whiz," said his mother, Cathy Belanger. "He was creative and could take whatever was in the refrigerator and pull
out this gourmet dish from his soul and his head."
Belanger, 24, of Narragansett, R.I., died Aug. 27 when the convoy he was in was attacked in Iraq. He had enlisted in the Army Reserves and was called up to active duty shortly after the
terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, said his father, Ed Belanger.
Belanger graduated from Johnson and Wales University in Providence, R.I., in 2001 with an associate degree in culinary arts before entering the Army as a cook. He was pursuing a
bachelor''s degree in food service management. |
