More Losses in Iraq

Two soldiers from central Ohio were killed in Iraq, according to the Dispatch:

They were in Iraq, and the two soldiers who served with the 545th Military Police Company marveled at how they ended up together when both were from central Ohio.

Army Staff Sgt. Shannon M. Smith, 31, of Marion, was the supervisor of Pfc. Zachary T. Myers, 21, of Delaware.

Both were killed Tuesday as they rode in the same armored vehicle that was hit by an explosive in Baji, Iraq. A third soldier, Thomas F. Lyons, 20, of Fernley, Nev., also was killed.....

Please keep their families in your thoughts and prayers.
