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.

Staff Sgt. Sean P. Huey, of the 1-506th, was killed in Habbaniyah on 11.11.2004 when his unit was on patrol and a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device detonated near his HMMWV. Staff Sgt. Huey, of Fredericktown, PA, was 28 years old. According to the Washington, PA, Observer-Reporter and the NEPA news, he was married with an 11-month old son. He was able to meet his son for the first and only time during the block leave period in June, 2004.

Staff Sgt. Huey is the 3rd soldier in the 1-506th and 30th 2nd BCT serviceman to die in Iraq serving our country. Our hearts go out to his family.
