Casualty Reports:
(1) The Tyler (Texas) Morning Telegraph has identified another one of the four army cavalry scouts who died when their M3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle hit a roadside bomb in Diyala Province on Friday, September 14th: Christopher Michael McCloud, 24, of Athens, Texas. Apparently, he had worked in construction after high school for some time, then decided to enlist late last year. He had been in Iraq for the past 5 months. Right before McCloud left base for what would be his final mission, he was able to talk to his wife and his two sons, aged 2 and 3 years, on the phone.
.
(2) The Greenville (South Carolina) News is reporting the death in Iraq of Army Staff Sergeant Terry Daniel Wagoner of Pelzer, South Carolina. According to his father, who referred to him as "Daniel", Wagoner was killed in a roadside bomb blast along with three other soldiers while on patrol on Friday, September 14th, making it likely he is one of the deaths described in this MNF-Iraq release. During high school, Wagoner's specialty was running track ... the 440 and 880 ... an athletic endeavor at which he was ranked statewide. He had been in the army for the past seven years, based currently out of Fort Hood, TX. On his second tour of duty in Iraq, Wagoner was originally scheduled to return home this October, but had his tour extended until February. He is survived by his wife, a 3-year-old daughter, his parents and two sisters. On a side note, Greenville station WYFF is reporting that Spc. Zandra Worthy-Walker, who was killed in a mortar attack in Iraq on August 15th, 2007, was the same age as Wagoner, attended the same high school ... and ran on the same track team.
