  • Gulf War Veteran Posted October 25, 2018 2:19 am

    Mr. Wright is too young to have served during Operation Desert Storm. Operation Desert Storm was in 1991 which would make Mr. Wright 10 years old at the time. The second Gulf War (Operation Iraqi Freedom) was in 2003 which was a year after Mr. Wright left service. I just wanted to bring these facts to the attention of whomever wrote Mr. Wright’s obituary. However we do Thank Mr. Wright for his faithful service to our country.

    • Georganne Williams Posted October 25, 2018 9:00 am

      Thank you for the clarification, we appreciate your feedback.

  • Michelle Lynn Swanson Posted November 4, 2018 5:17 pm

    I want to express my condolences for you and your family. Our hearts (Iowa Reading Association) go out to you.
