FORT BRAGG, N.C. — The Department of Defense says a 24-year-old Fort Bragg soldier from New Jersey was killed by explosives in Afghanistan.

Military officials said Saturday that 1st Lt. Salvatore S. Corma died April 29 at Forward Operating Base Bullard of wounds sustained when insurgents attacked his unit using improvised explosive devices.

Corma was from Wenonah, Gloucester County.

He was assigned to 2nd Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, out of Fort Bragg.

Friends say Corma, a 2008 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy, was due to come home in August. And while he was often humble and soft-spoken, they say Corma was a tough man and a strong leader who enjoyed his military service.
