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.

Web-site for wounded 2nd BCT soldier

Ami Chung, the wife of a 2nd BCT soldier, forwarded a link to a web-site for a wounded 2nd BCT soldier. CPT Daniel MacArthur Gade, of the 1/9th Infantry, was wounded on 1.10.2005 when an I.E.D. detonated near his vehicle. He was evacuated from Iraq and is presently at Walter Reed Hospital. His left leg was amputated. He still requires the aid of a breathing tube and is undergoing surgery for the third straight day today, 1.19.2005. The web-site provides regular updates on Cpt. Gade's progress, some pictures of his family, and a guestbook to send greetings and prayers to his family.

Ami asks that we keep Cpt. Gade in our hearts and prayers. She also reports that his wife and family received a visit from Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
