Last week, Sherwood Baker's family buried the Pennsylvania Army National Guard soldier in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. He leaves behind a wife and a 9 year old son.

The 30-year-old Baker was one of two soldiers killed in a building explosion in Baghdad on April 26. He was the first member of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard to die in combat since 1945. His parents, Alfred and Celeste Zappala, raised Baker from the time he was 13 months old, when they took him in as a foster child.

Last night they came to New York for a special advanced screening of Michael Moore's new film Farenheight 9/11. Moore invited dozens of families who lost loved ones in Iraq to watch the film ahead of its release later this summer. Al and Celeste Zappara now join us in our firehouse studio.
