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 Fatalities

The Department of Defense announced the deaths of two 2nd BCT soldiers.

Sgt. Andrew L. Bossert and Pfc. Michael W. Franklin, of the 44th Engineers, were killed in Ramadi on 3.7.2005 "when a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device detonated near their screening area." Sgt. Bossert, of Fountain City, WI, was 24 years old. Pfc. Franklin, of Coudersport, PA, was 22 years old.

Sgt. Bossert and Pfc. Franklin were the 8th and 9th soldiers of the 44th Engineers, and 64 and 65th 2nd BCT servicemen, to die in Iraq while serving our country. Our hearts go out to their families.
