Le Ron Wilson was 18 and ONE of the youngest. Altho you have to be at least 17-18 to enlist, and normally 18 before you are deployed. I believe that SHOULD be the youngest death of a soilder.
To the person above me, I understand where your coming from. However the person asking seems polite in asking the question, and doesnt seem to have any malicious intention. If I were to die as a veteran of war. I would like it if people knew or cared enough to ask. No, I dont want them harassing my family. But that certainly doesnt seem like this guys intention.

That soldier was a man. It doesn't make any difference how old he was. He was doing what he thought was right. Just tell him thank you for standing on the wall and protecting you.
USMC 66-69

That soldier would have been a minimum of eighteen years of age. The names, ages, ranks and units of those who have died in this war against terrorism are posted on a DOD web site each day after the next-of-kin has been duly notified. That posting is in the form of a press release. The link to that web site is below. However, the names of the wounded are not released because they are covered under the Health Information Privacy Act (HIPA), a Federal law.
The second link below is to a web site which has a comprehensive list of all who have died in Operation Iraqi Freedom. If you use the "U.S. Casualties" feature, you can scroll down to a printable list of all who have died down range in that country. The age of each deceased is given in years.

At least 40 18-year-olds have been killed: http://www.spokesmanreview.com/iraq/database/casualties_searchresult.asp?LastName=&RestName=&Status=&Age=18&City=&StateProvince=&Country=&service_branch=&service_force=&IncidentDate=&DeathDate=&IncidentLocation=
You can go through the list to find the earliest birthdate. (Search on age 17 found no results.)
