| Milforum's Bouncer | Quote: More 82nd Airborne losses
Four Paratroopers from 5th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, were killed by a suicide bomber on a scooter in Iraq on Sunday.
The troopers were identified as:- Sergeant Jason Swiger of South Portland, Maine, 24 years old
- Corporal Jason Nunez of Naranjito, Puerto Rico, 22 years old
- PFC Orlando Gonzalez, of New Freedom, Pennsylvania, 21 years old
- PFC Anthony White of Columbia, South Carolina, 21 years old
The four troopers were actually passing out candy to Iraqi children when a rider on a passing scooter detonated some type of explosive, killing himself in the process. | http://copthetruth.typepad.com/cop_t...2nd_airbo.html
