Update on SSgt Davis Information

Dear CCA Members,

Details of SSgt Timothy Davis' service/funeral were not confirmed earlier today (Mon.) It looks like the funeral service will take place in Washington State on Saturday at 1100, exact location TBD. I believe the area is approximately 80-100 miles from McChord AFB, WA. The 1 SOW at Hurlburt Field, FL is trying to arrange airlift from Hurlburt to McChord and return. More to follow as it gets confirmed.

In addition to SSgt Tim Davis' death, two Special Forces NCOs were also killed by the IED and others critically wounded. Casualties include Staff Sgt Jeremy E. Bessa, 26, of Woodridge, IL and Master Sgt David L. Hurt, 36, of Tucson, AZ. Both were assigned to the 1st Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group, Fort Bragg, NC. Our sincere condolences go out to their families, teammates and friends. At this time I don't have any information on the other members who were injured, but believe they were also Army SF soldiers.

Wayne Norrad, President
Combat Control Association
