Cecil soldier killed in Iraq
baltimoresun.com
Cpl. Brandon Craig of Earlville was victim of improvised explosive device
By Jonathan Bor
sun reporter
July 21, 2007
A 25-year-old soldier from Cecil County was killed in Iraq on Thursday when a roadside bomb exploded and struck the vehicle he was riding.
Army Cpl. Brandon Craig of Earlville was a graduate of Bohemia Manor High School and had been serving in Iraq since April. A private first class before his death, he was posthumously promoted to corporal.
"He was a great gentleman and a great young man," said his grandfather, Reginald Craig of Earlville.
Corporal Craig enlisted in February last year and completed initial training at Fort Benning, Ga., before reporting to Fort Lewis in Washington state. There he was assigned to the 4th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division.
He died of wounds suffered when an improvised explosive device went off in Husayniyah, according to a statement from Fort Lewis.
Last month, he was awarded the Army Commendation Medal for Valor for acting bravely when his unit came under attack while patrolling south of Tarmiyah in the Sunni Triangle.
"His quick thinking and action without concern for his own safety prevented the loss of any soldiers or equipment," a Fort Lewis spokeswoman said.
After his death, the Army added an oak leaf cluster to the medal.
His wife, Jodi Craig, is also a soldier. She is assigned to the 23rd Chemical Battalion at Fort Lewis. |
