Educational Fund Established for the Son of Fallen US Soldier

On 18 August 2010, US Army Sergeant Brandon E. Maggart was killed in action in Basrah, Iraq. Read the report in Military Times.

Sgt. Maggart leaves behind his wife and their three-year-old son, Blake. Sgt. Maggart was killed in action on his son’s third birthday, which was just two weeks before he was due to be rotated home to Kirksville, Missouri. He served the United States in the 5th Battalion, 5th Air Defense Artillery Regiment.

Sgt. Maggart was the cousin of our friend and colleague, Ron Baade of Commonwealth Transportation Consultants. Ron co-teaches with Bill Messerschmidt at the University of Tulsa’s Continuing Engineering and Science Education department.

An educational fund has been established at Bank of America for Blake Maggartt. Those wishing to donate to should do the following.
