Iowan killed in drone attack

DES MOINES— The Department of War has identified four Army Reserve soldiers with the 103rd Sustainment Command based in Des Moines, Iowa, who were killed in action when Iran struck Port Shuaiba in Kuwait from a drone on Sunday. Among them is one Iowan: Sergeant Declan Coady, 20, from West Des Moines.  
Governor Reynolds issued a statement on the deaths.
“Today, we mourn the loss of Sergeant Declan Coady, a young Iowan who heroically answered his nation’s call to duty and gave the ultimate sacrifice,” said Governor Kim Reynolds. “Kevin and I offer our deepest condolences to his family and ask all Iowans to join us in prayer for their healing and comfort.” 
U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley also commented on the loss of life.
“I’m deeply saddened to learn of the passing of these four brave soldiers, including Sgt. Declan Coady, a young man from West Des Moines. These heroes paid the ultimate price to protect against the world’s number one state sponsor of terrorism, Iran, and we will never forget their service and sacrifice. They represent the best of Iowa, and the best of America. Barbara and I are praying for their loved ones as they mourn this great loss, and we continue to pray for the safety of all soldiers who are serving in harm's way,” Grassley said.
