Combat Fatality
The Department of Defense announced the death of a 2nd BCT soldier.
Spc. Nicholas E. Wilson, of the 1-9th, died on 3.11.2005 in Ramadi "while conducting a roving patrol when his military vehicle rolled into a water-filled ditch after the shoulder of the road he was on collapsed." According to the Arizona Republic, Spc. Wilson joined the Army in 2003 after being a member of his high school's ROTC program. His mother calls him her "miracle child" after he was born 3 months premature and was in a neonatal intensive care unit for 3 months, suffering only some hearing loss from the premature birth. Spc Wilson was from Glendale, AZ. He was 21 years old.
Spc Wilson is the 9th soldier from the 1-9th, and the 66th 2nd BCT serviceman, to die in Iraq while serving our country. Our hearts go out to his family.
