SPC Kevin Mowl : Rest In Peace, Brave Warrior
February 27, 2008
Yesterday morning, I received news from Tony Neria, father-in-law of Sgt. Sam Nichols, about the death of one of our brave Warriors, who was a patient in the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md, at the same time that Sam was. After fighting the past 6 months to recover from his injuries, this Hero, Kevin Mowl, succumed to his injuries on Monday morning. As always, when I hear the news of the loss of one of our warriors, it cuts deep. Yet another brave warrior has paid the ultimate price for the freedoms that we take for granted.
Spc Mowl was injured on August 2nd when his vehicle was struck by a roadside bomb, causing it to flip over. Mowl suffered multiple broken bones and a head injury. Three other Soldiers died in that explosion and 11 more Soldiers as well as an interpreter were injured. President Bush personally presented Spc. Mowl with a Purple Heart and a Presidential Medallion at Bethesda, when he visited there in December.
Spc. Mowl was a member of A Company, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment, 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team and had been deployed to Iraq in June 2006. His loss will profoundly affect those who served beside him during that deployment. Since Kevin’s injury, his family has maintained a website to keep friends and family updated on Kevin’s progress. Please, take some time to visit and leave your messages of condolence.
Kevin was a native of Pittsford, N.Y. having attended Pittsford public schools until his 11th grade year. He then transferred to Valley Force Military Academy near Philadelphia, where he graduated in 2003. Shortly afterwards, he joined the Army and served as an infantryman, eventually being sent to Iraq in August 2006. Kevin Mowl is survived by his parents, Harold and Mary Mowl and his sister Carlene. Please keep the Mowl family in your thoughts and prayers.
