Family members wept and clutched on to each other as the body of Army Spc. Christopher Jude Rivera Wesley arrived on island last night...

There, dozens of family members, and military and local government officials had gathered to pay tribute to the first confirmed Chamorro casualty of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

"He is home now," his mother, Rose Marie Wesley, said last night, as she dabbed away tears...

A member of Christopher Wesley's unit escorted the body back to Guam and presented the family with the silver dog tags that he had worn the day he died.
