Jack, Whitney, Pete Linnerooth
This July 2011 photo shows Iraq War veteran Pete Linnerooth and his two children, Jack and Whitney, in Lake Tahoe during his wedding to Melanie Walsh.

But early this year Linnerooth, Bronze Star recipient, admired Army captain, devoted father, turned his gun on himself. He was 42.
