His vehicle went off the road and rolled down an embankment.
Rice was the ninth Minnesota soldier killed in Iraq.
He joined the Army in April 2001 and was a member of the 2nd Infantry Division based in Fort Lewis, Wash., Army spokesman Sgt. Maj. J.C. Mathews said."
I'm a little sad, but he was braver than I ever'll be. I am proud to have known him.
