Casey Byers also was a fun-loving clown. When he joined in 1999, the military paperwork required a middle name. He didn’t have one, so called himself Casey “The” Byers. He painted “The Byers” on everything he could, including a water tower at home and roads in Iraq. (Photo submitted by Bill Byers/Special to the Register)
