I know this is not firearm issue, but, my nephew's wife, who was stationed in Northern Iraq was killed today.

The nephew and his wife, both members of the Tennessee National Guard were deployed together last fall, he is a chopper pilot, and was recalled early from his tour for a new assignment as an instructor, returned stateside last week, but his wife was required to remain on station for the duration of her tour of duty.

Details are sketchy at best, but from what information we have at this time, it appears a roadside bomb was involved.

I'm really sorry to hear that.. I am praying for your family, & I'm truly sorry for your loss.. ~D

I am terribly sorry to hear of this tragic loss. Prayers for comfort and strength sent for you all. May she rest in peace, and may our nation never forget the sacrifices all of our heroes and heroines in uniform make to keep us safe every day.

In speaking with my nephew, he said his wife had actually entered the pilot training program and had graduated. She was serving in that capacity. She and another pilot were killed in a chopper accident. Appears that there was no hostile forces present, and mechanical failure seems the most likely cause. "Hard landing" was the official designation, Sam says that means crash.

Richard,

So sorry to hear of your family's loss particularly in a time of service to this country and in particular under this administration which really seems to so frequently disrespect the service, commitments and sacrifices that the citizens of this country make who choose to serve.

I am so sorry to hear this. Can you share the names. I know most of the Tennessee pilots. I know of 2 husband/wifes that are pilots. I know 2 of them pretty well. I am in GA right now serving on AD so I am not that intouch with the guys over there.

Richard--

Sorry to hear of your family's loss.

David

Richard,
You and your Family will be in our prayers and Please tell them their service to our Country will not be forgotten.

Mr. Archie I'm truly sorry for your loss. My family and I are praying for you & your family. It is truly saddening that our military has had the losses it's had.
