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

According to KLTV, WA, and the Dallas-Fort Worth Star-Telegraph, he joined the Army straight out of high school, and earned the Meritorious Service Medal for outstanding noncombat achievement or service to the nation in 2000.
