Staff Sgt. Griffith of Mechanicsville, Iowa, would have celebrated his eighth wedding anniversary March 20. He was a hard worker who took all the training he could, even when it wasn't required. He was intelligent and able to pick up on things quickly, from carpentry to computers to skiing. Griffith's father had grown up in Mechanicsville and the family had returned after Donald Sr. retired from the Air Force. A rumbling escort of Harley Davidson motorcycles led the funeral procession for Sgt. Griffith. About 500 people filled the 1920s-era auditorium to pay their respects to Griffith, known as "Don Don" to his family and Donnie to his friends. He was also survived by his parents. He was 29.
