Sgt. Justin Duffy was killed June 2, 2009, in eastern Baghdad after a roadside bomb exploded near his Humvee. He was 31. Family and fellow members of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division have created a scholarship in his memory.

Duffy graduated with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from the University of Nebraska at Kearney in 2000. The scholarship established by his family and friends will benefit UNK students who are studying criminal justice, health science or who are members of UNK’s ROTC program.
