www.wcpo.com -- The ongoing U.S. military presence in Iraq has claimed the life of another Tri-state military member.
Sergeant First Class Gregory S. Rogers, 42, of Cincinnati, was killed Sunday.
The military reports he died when an improvised explosive device detonated near his vehicles during convoy operations.

Rogers' wife died from a medical condition a few months before he was deployed to Iraq in December 2005.
He planned to retire when he returned from his tour of duty in December 2006.
Rogers is survived by a daughter in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania and a daughter in Ravenna, Ohio.
His parents, Luther and Donna, live in West Chester.
Rogers joined the Army in April 1984 and was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
Rogers is the 22nd military member to die serving in the latest invasion of Iraq.
Just last week, news came that Bryan Taylor, a Clermont County Marine, was killed in Iraq. He was reportedly shot while refueling a humvee.
As of 5 p.m. Monday, 2,350 Americans had been killed serving in Iraq since March 19, 2003, the start of the war. |
