What happened to staff US ARMY SSG LOLENI W GANDY?
On May 24th, 2018 Vice President pence placed a flag at the grave site of US Army SSG Loleni W Gandy at Arlington Cemetery. This is not the only time Loleni W Gandy had a spotlight surrounding his grave.

Every year, twice a year, since his father died in Balad in 2010, the teen has made the trip with his mother and brothers to pay respect to his dad, Army Staff Sgt. Loleni W. Gandy, who is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
The trips, which are made on the anniversary of Gandy's death and his birthday, stem from the family's Samoan heritage – a culture steeped in the celebration of the bonds of family.
Tyler isn't sure what to do with the assignment. He doesn't want to talk about his dad.
"I don't really know what happened to him," Tyler says, sitting in an air-conditioned museum cafe.
There were conflicting stories.
First, the family was told he died alone in his room of an unknown medical issue. Then, they were told he died of a heart attack, and they received letters from comrades who said they were with him at the time.
"You want to say, 'Which is it?' " Tyler says, the frustration in his voice apparent. "You don't know what to believe."
