BOISE, Idaho — Army officials say a soldier from Boise died in Iraq Monday after being attacked by a rocket-propelled grenade.
The soldier is identified as 23-year-old Sgt. Michael T. Lilly, who joined the Army after graduating from Borah High School.
Lilly was assigned to the 1st Squadron, 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment, based in Vilseck, Germany.
Lilly was killed along with another soldier, Spc. Jason C. Kazarick, of Oakmont, Penn., in an attack in Sadr City.
Relatives say Lilly was motivated to enlist in the Army after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. In a statement released through the Idaho National Guard, the family said Lilly, who was married, knew he had an important job to do and believed that serving in the Army was what he needed to do in life.
Army Sgt. Michael T. Lilly was killed in action on 4/7/08.
