 ABC12 -- BEAVERTON (WJRT) -- (06/30/09) -- A Mid-Michigan soldier has been killed in Iraq as that country marks the withdrawal of U.S. Troops from Baghdad and other cities.

Sgt. David was a 1999 graduate of Beaverton High School and was on his sixth mission in either Iraq or Afghanistan when he died Sunday in Iraq.
David's father, Michael, said his son joined the Army right after high school. He served with the 2nd Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, Fort Hood.
Davis also said his son was supposed to come home in June, but the military extended his stay.
Timothy David was hoping to come home in October to celebrate his 29th birthday.
His mother and younger brother are now in Dover Delaware, waiting for the arrival of Timothy's casket. His body is scheduled to be back on U.S. soil later tonight. |
