Kassandra Lewis, the sister of U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Keith Lewis, 31, says her brother adored his wife, Sarah, 34, and daughter, Callie, 3, and was excited about the birth of a second daughter, Isabelle, around Christmastime.

It has since served in almost every American conflict since World War II.
