PITTSBURGH - A Pennsylvania National Guardsman apparently died in his sleep in his barracks near Baghdad on Saturday, according to Pennsylvania National Guard officials.
http://www.timesleader.com/mld/timesleader/9773613.htmArmy Spc. Clifford L. Moxley Jr., 51, of New Castle, was found dead in his bed of apparent natural causes, Lt. Col. Chris Cleaver said
Moxley, who served in the Army from 1981 to 1987, was a member of the 1st Battalion, 107th Field Artillery, and was a cook for Company C of the 2/103rd Armor near Baghdad. He joined the Pennsylvania National Guard in 1991, mobilized for Fort Dix in January and had been in Iraq since March.
Spc. Carl F. Curran II, 22, of Union City, and Spc. Mark J. Kasecky, 20, of McKees Rocks, died May 16 when an explosive lashed to a bridge they were crossing near Fallujah, Iraq, blew up and flipped their Humvee into a canal where they both drowned, officials said.
Their deaths were the first time since World War II that soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 107th Field Artillery, had been killed in action.
On Edit ---- 51 year old guys should be at home taking care of their grandchildren.
