From Boy Scout to soldier: Iowa remembers reservist killed in Iran strike
USA TODAY
Iowa Army reservist Declan Coady was among four soldiers in an Iowa-based unit who were killed in an Iranian attack in Kuwait, the Pentagon confirmed.
An Iowa soldier killed in an Iranian strike is being remembered in his home state as "a young Iowan who heroically answered his nation’s call to duty and gave the ultimate sacrifice."
A statement by Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds also asked that Iowans join in prayer for the family of Sgt. Declan Coady, 20, a sophomore at Drake University and Army reservist from West Des Moines.
Coady was killed in action in Kuwait on Sunday, March 1, in an Iranian strike at Shuaiba Port in Kuwait. The attack also killed three other soldiers assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command, a Des Moines-based unit.
Shuaiba on the Persian Gulf is near Camp Buehring, a U.S. base where Coady's father Andrew and sister Keira told the Des Moines Register he had been stationed.
The Pentagon on Tuesday, March 3, identified the others killed in the strike as Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35, of Winter Haven, Florida; Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42, of Bellevue, Nebraska; and Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota. It also confirmed Coady, posthumously promoted to sergeant from specialist, was among them.
