$1 Million Lottery Winner Says Third Tour Is His 'Duty'
Soldier Joins 81st Brigade On Mission To Iraq; Thousands Of Troops Training In Yakima Area
(Seattle Post-Intelligencer, August 4, 2008)

Sgt. Wayne Leyde, a banker at Wells Fargo in downtown Spokane, served two tours in Iraq with the regular Army, so when his Washington National Guard unit got call-up orders for October, he was told he did not have to go. But he volunteered anyway.

Although he won a $1 million Washington Lottery scratch ticket prize in February, Leyde says he has no regrets. "We each have a duty," Leyde said as he and the rest of 1st Platoon, Delta Company, prepared to practice loading stretchers into a UH-1N Huey medevac helicopter. "This is my duty. I chose it."
