Bright died -- alongside three other soldiers -- in Taji, Iraq, on Oct. 4th. Bright was assigned to the 7th Squadron, 10th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Brigade, 4th Infantry Division out of Fort Hood, Texas.
Haag died in Baghdad, Iraq, on Oct. 1st. Haag was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, out of Fort Hood, Texas.
“Oregon lost two of our finest men last week,” Kulongoski said. “Both were exceptional men, community members and Oregonians who unselfishly lost their lives for our country.”
