Title: Ree & family Post by Peppermint on Oct 18th, 2004, 10:51pm As most of you know, Ree's son Scott flies a Kiowa helicopter overseas. Two Kiowa's went down in the last couple of days and she is standing by patiently for any news from him or confirmation that he was not involved. Ree asked me to post this request that you pray (or whatever you do in your own way) for her family. As the amazing supporter I've known Ree to be, I don't think its asking too much. She will be back soon. Sorry you and Dave and family are going through this Ree. God willing he is fine... I'm praying for you all. Pep |

We have had 27 copters crash this year. I dont know how we Soldier families cope from day to day without strong support and love like I have here. Thanks. ree Pilot who died in Baghdad is recalled By Diane Scarponi, Associated Press | October 19, 2004 WOODBURY, Conn. -- From the time William Brennan was a boy, he wanted nothing more than to fly. He got his dream as pilot of an Army helicopter. He died in the cockpit, when his helicopter went down in a collision with another copter Saturday over Baghdad. ADVERTISEMENT His brothers and sisters yesterday remembered Brennan as an outgoing, friendly, somewhat wacky guy who was proud of his Army service. "He was very adamant that he was doing the right thing," said his sister-in-law, T. J. Brennan. Brennan, 36, a chief warrant officer, was the youngest of seven children born to a Bethlehem, Conn., family that is well-known in the area for running the Curtis House, a Colonial-era inn and restaurant in Woodbury. He leaves his wife, Kathy, with whom he served in the Army in Bosnia; and two daughters, Katelin, 4, and Cassidy, 2. They live in Hawaii, where Brennan was stationed. Brennan was named after a cousin, who also was a helicopter pilot during the Vietn am War. An uncle was a bomber pilot in World War II and Korea. His father, who was a commander in the Navy, died when Brennan was 3. Brennan joined the National Guard and Reserves and applied to Army flight school. He almost never made it -- an Army bureaucrat spilled coffee on his first application and threw it away. Brennan studied various kinds of helicopters to figure out which ones he wanted to fly most, his sister-in-law recalled. Yesterday, the US Defense Department said that Brennan's helicopter, a OH-58D, collided with another helicopter. In letters e-mailed to his relatives, Brennan spoke about the daily goings-on of his service and the respect he felt for the Iraqi people, who he said had suffered under Saddam Hussein and were grateful for American aid. "I say a hell of a lot of prayers before getting into the aircraft, and after getting down," he wrote in an Easter letter to his sister, Briana Wall. "It is not the fear of death that weighs me down, it is the feeling of not being there for my three girls. . . . There is a very real chance that something bad could happen and they would never know me," he wrote. [/size][size=2][size=2][/size][/font][font=Verdana] |

The pilots were assigned to the 1st Cavalry Division. Two other soldiers were injured in the incident and were taken to a medical facility. No report on their condition was available. The incident is under investigation. Meanwhile, U.S. jets blasted a checkpoint operated by the Tawhid and Jihad terror movement of the fugitive Jordanian-born terrorist Muqtada al-Zarqawi in the Jolan district of Fallujah, Iraq, Oct. 16. Officials said the terrorists operating the illegal checkpoint were heavily armed and were using the blockade to disrupt traffic, intimidate and harass local citizens, and interrogate and detain local civilians. Consisting of complex barriers, the checkpoint was considered key to the Zarqawi network's ability to control movement into and out of Fallujah, 40 miles west of Baghdad. Fallujah is considered the toughest stronghold of insurgents. Informants have linked this and other checkpoints to kidnappings and executions conducted in the Fallujah area, according to multiple intelligence reports, Multinational Force Iraq officials said. On Oct. 14, multinational forces destroyed two other major checkpoints. Officials noted that the latest strike continues the coalition's intensive campaign against foreign terrorists in the Fallujah area. Iraqi special forces and elements of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force formed a "dynamic cordon" around the city on the morning of Oct. 15. The cordon consists of vehicle control points aimed at disrupting freedom of movement by fleeing anti-Iraqi forces, officials said. Since Oct. 14, the Multinational Force has struck numerous Zarqawi network locations, including safe houses, training locations, a command and control planning center, and a weapons storage site, officials said. In the last month, the coalition has also struck large stockpiles of illegal explosives, including those used to build car bombs. The operations have netted numerous Zarqawi operatives, officials said. Near Tikrit, about 90 miles north of Baghdad, 1st Infantry Division soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry Regiment detained three people early this morning. The three men reportedly ran across a road carrying a shovel and an AK-47 assault rifle. The soldiers followed them to a house, where they were detained and three rifles were confiscated. The patrol is searching the area for possible improvised explosive devices. (Compiled from Multinational Force Iraq news releases.)
