A 20-year-old Iowan is among the six American soldiers who were killed Sunday in Kuwait.
Sergeant Declan Coady of West Des Moines was an Army Reservist and a sophomore at Drake University. Coady and five other U-S soldiers were killed in what the military describes as a drone hit on a tactical center at a civilian port in Kuwait.
Coady was part of the 103rd Sustainment Command based at Fort Des Moines, and three other soldiers in the unit from Florida, Bellevue, Nebraska, and White Bear Lake, Minnesota are among those killed in Kuwait. He enlisted in the Army Reserve in 2023 as an Army Information Technology Specialist.
Drake University, in a statement, said Coady was a highly dedicated Drake University student who had an incredibly bright future ahead of him. He was studying information systems, cybersecurity and computer science at Drake.
