Army officials on Saturday identified four members of the 101st Airborne Division killed when their Black Hawk helicopter crashed near Tikrit, Iraq.

The Black Hawk went down on the east side of the Tigris River on Friday near Saddam Hussein's hometown, killing all six soldiers aboard.

The four Fort Campbell soldiers were identified as Capt. Joseph B. Smith, 29, of Monroe City, Mo.; Chief Warrant Officer 3 Kyran E. Kennedy, 43, of Boston; Staff Sgt. Paul M. Neff, 30, of South Carolina; and Sgt. Scott C. Rose, 30, of Massachusetts.

5. I haven't heard an official admit to a shoot down yet!

Even after all the "retaliatory" action in Tikrit, no one has confirmed what led to the "crash", have they?

:cry:

6. I knew a Sgt Neff from SC in Viet Nam many years ago...

I look at these names and I wonder if there is a relationship??

7. Strange I heard on the Jim Lehrer's News Hour a few months ago...

The name of a boy that use to be my next door neighbor, my son use to play with him.

I wasn't sure at first, and afterward it checked out to be Michael. A sad moment indeed.
