| Cause: | Killed in Mosul, Iraq, on January 25, 2004, in a helicopter crash |
1 st Lt. Adam Mooney was described by a family friend as someone who took life seriously. "He was a good boy and he grew up to be a good man." He loved to fish and play soccer and enlisted in the military in 1996 as an aviator.
On October 26, he was deployed to the Middle East but was killed three months later when his helicopter went down in the Tigris River during a search for missing soldiers on a capsized watercraft. More than a tenth of his hometown's population, 1,200 people, attended his funeral in Cambridge, Maryland. In Conway, where his wife resides, flags were lowered and yellow ribbons were tied. It was a true testament of the impact Lt. Mooney had on those who knew him.
My thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Katie; his eight-year old daughter, Sydney; and all those who knew and loved him.
