2nd BCT Media Links

This blog centralized media links for the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division during its deployment from Korea to Iraq as part of OIF 2.5, Aug 2004 - July 2005. It was updated daily over the year, with only sporadic updates since. It is left on-line for historical interest (although many links are likely now broken) and as a tribute to the 2nd BCT servicemen who lost their lives serving in Iraq. May they rest in peace and may their legacy be forever remembered.

Combat Fatality

The Department of Defense announced the death of a 2nd BCT soldier.

Pfc. Dennis J. Miller, Jr., of the 2-72nd Armor Regiment, was killed in Ramadi on 11.10.2004 when his unit came under enemy attack and a rocket-propelled grenade struck his M1A1 Abrams tank. Pfc. Miller, of La Salle, MI, was 21 years old. According to the Toledo Blade, and the Detroit News, he had been married for 14 months. He had talked to his wife, parents, and sister 4 days earlier as they made plans for his upcoming R&R leave.

Pfc. Miller is the the 29th 2nd BCT serviceman killed while serving our country in Iraq. Our deepest condolences go out to his family.
