Combat Fatalities
The Department of Defense announced the deaths of two 2nd BCT soldiers.
Spc. Christopher L. Hoskins and Spc. Brian A. Vaughn, of the 1-9th, were killed on 6.21.2005 in Ramadi "where their unit was conducting combat operations, and were attacked by enemy forces using small arms fire." It is not immediately clear whether Spc. Hoskins and Spc. Vaughn were killed in the same battle in which Spc. Nicholas Idalski was killed.
Spc. Hoskins was from Danielson, CT. According to the Associated Press and The Norich Bulletin, CT, he joined the Army in 2003, and had recently reenlisted. Spc. Hoskins was 21 years old.
Spc. Vaughn was from Pell City, AL. He was 23 years old.
Spc. Hoskins and Spc. Vaughn were the 13th and 14th Soldiers of the 1-9th, and the 99th and 100th servicemen under 2nd BCT command, to die in Iraq while serving our country. Our deepest sympathies go out to their families.
