FORT HOOD, Texas — The Army says two Fort Hood soldiers have been killed in a roadside bombing in Iraq and a third died from small-arms fire in Afghanistan.
A Pentagon statement Monday says 29-year-old Sgt. Kenneth W. Mayne of Fort Benning, Ga., and 22-year-old Pfc. Bryan R. Thomas of Battle Creek, Mich., died of their wounds Thursday in Baghdad. That was after they were wounded when the road mine exploded near their vehicle.
They were assigned to the 1st Battalion, 66th Armored regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division at Fort Hood.
The Pentagon later identified a Fort Hood soldier killed in Afghanistan as 18-year-old Pvt. Michael R. Dinterman of Littlestown, Pa. He died Saturday when he was shot while on foot patrol. Dinterman was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division.
