Soldier from Kenosha County killed in IraqCasualty count.
A 22-year-old soldier from Pleasant Prairie has reportedly become the 55th member of the military from Wisconsin killed in the Iraq war.
According to the Associated Press, Eric D. Clark was killed while on active duty with the U.S. Army in Baghdad.
The AP reported that Clark enlisted in the Army after graduating from St. Joseph Interparish Junior High in 1997 and Indian Trail Academy high school in 2001. Both schools are in Kenosha.
His old high school counselor, Ed Anderson, told the AP that news of Clark's death was devastating.
"It's hard to describe," Anderson said. "He's the kind of guy where you might be in a bad mood yourself but then he would come by and give you that smile."
Sgt. Eugene Washington, a Kenosha military recruiter, remembered Clark had worked at a local pizza restaurant before joining the Army.
"The guy was really excited about joining and serving his country," Washington told the AP.
The military has not released details of the circumstances surrounding Clark's death.
