The army is adding Sergeant James McDonald's name to a memorial wall for fallen soldiers in Texas. Military leaders still can't explain how the Neenah man died.

He was found dead in his barracks six months ago.

The 26-year-old soldier received a purple heart. He was injured in a roadside bomb blast last year in Iraq.

An autopsy shows McDonalds death was likely related to head trauma from combat.

His mother says she'll be happy to see her son honored.
