LEWISVILLE SOLDIER AMONG THOSE KILLED AT BASE CAMP FOR 39TH
Military officials have notified the family of a second Arkansas soldier killed in a rocket attack in Iraq. The attack occurred Saturday at the base camp of Arkansas' 39th Infantry Brigade.
According to the Banner News newspaper at Magnolia, Captain Arthur "Bo" Felder of Lewisville was among four brigade members who died in the attack. The newspaper spoke with family members, although the Department of Defense had not yet released the names of those killed.
Felder was 36 years old. He had served in the National Guard since 1986, the year after he graduated from Lewisville High School. He attended Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia and later transferred to East Texas Baptist University in Marshall, Texas.

I'm trying to figure out why the news of the dead is dribbling out so slowly - On of my students lost his father - and has already received official notice.
Seargent Orton (I don't recall his first name off the top of my head)> from Carlisle, Arkansas.
We have another Carlisle citizen hero who is in very bad shape - his mother was flown to Germany by the Army (never heard of that before) to be with him.
