Iowa Senate Democratic Leader Janice Weiner and Iowa State Senator Sarah Trone Garriott have released the following statement on the death of Jeffrey O’Brien.
“I am devastated by the news of yet another Iowan killed in action overseas,” Sen. Janice Weiner said. “Every loss of life is a tragedy, but it’s made that much worse when it happens so far from home. My thoughts are with Jeffrey O’Brien’s loved ones as they grapple with his sacrifice – and with all the Iowans who continue to put themselves in harm’s way. Please, no more.”
“Tragically, another Iowan, Maj. Jeffrey O’Brien, was killed in Kuwait this past Sunday,” Sen. Sarah Trone Garriott said. “This heartbreaking news comes as our community is mourning the loss of Sgt. Declan Coady. My prayers are with the family, friends, and comrades of our fallen soldiers.”
