After she read about how I was writing to a soldier, my friend Staci signed up for 'My Soldier' and received the contact information of the person who would distribute her package to her soldier today. She googled the name and was devastated to find out that he had been killed 4 days ago in a roadside bomb in Iraq.
Army Staff Sgt. Kyle A. Eggers
27, of Euless, Texas; assigned to the 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division, Camp Greaves, Korea; killed Dec. 5 when his vehicle was struck by an improvised explosive device in Habbaniyah, Iraq.
I really don't think I could handle it if I found out the soldier I was writing to had been killed. I would be totally devastated. RIP Kyle, and thanks for your bravery.
