2 Alaskans killed by bomb in Iraq Soldiers from Anchorage, North Pole served multiple combat tours

By BETH BRAGG and JAMES HALPIN
Daily News reporters

Staff Sgt. Carletta Davis didn't get to give her husband and three sons a hug before she went off to war nine weeks ago. The boys and their dad got to Fort Drum, N.Y., one day after she was deployed.

Now they're on their way to Alaska for Davis' funeral.

Davis, 34, who grew up in Anchorage, was one of two Alaskans killed Monday when a roadside bomb exploded near their Humvee in Tal Al-Dahab, Iraq.

Sgt. Derek Stenroos, 24, of North Pole, was also killed in the attack, along with two other soldiers with Fort Drum's 1st Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division: Pfc. Adam Muller of Underhill, Vt., and Staff Sgt. John Linde of New York City.

Stenroos, a military policeman who planned to become an Alaska State Trooper when his military commitment was over, was in Iraq for the second time in about three years. Davis, a medic, was there for the third time in less than five years.

The 1st Brigade left Fort Drum for Kirkuk, Iraq, on Sept. 6 -- the day before Davis' husband, Thomas, and their children, 14-year-old Treyton, 13-year-old Theodore and 8-year-old Tyrique, arrived. The family had driven to New York from Seattle, where Thomas Davis had just received his physician's assistant degree.

Staff Sgt. Carletta Davis didn't get to give her husband and three sons a hug before she went off to war nine weeks ago. The boys and their dad got to Fort Drum, N.Y., one day after she was deployed.

Stenroos, a 2001 North Pole High School graduate, joined the Army in January 2004. By December of that year, he was in Iraq.

During his first deployment, he suffered minor injuries when another roadside bomb exploded near his convoy, said Walt Armstrong, activities director at the North Pole school.

Stenroos is the first North Pole graduate to have been killed in Iraq, Armstrong said. More than 20 have served in the war, and one was shot by a sniper but lived, he said.

Understanding Marketing:

You see a fabulous girl/guy at a party. You approach them and say, “I’m fantastic in bed.”

That’s Direct Marketing.

You’re at a party with a bunch of friends and see a fabulous girl/guy. You have one of your friends’ approach them, point at you and say, “She’s/He’s fantastic in bed.”

That’s Advertising.

You see a fabulous girl/guy at a party. You approach them to get their telephone number. The next day you call and say, “Hi, I’m fantastic in bed.”

That’s Telemarketing.

You’re at a party and see a fabulous girl/guy. You get up, straighten your clothes, walk up and pour them a drink. You open the door, pick up their bag after it drops, offer them a ride, and then say, “By the way, I’m fantastic in bed.”

That’s Public Relations.

You’re at a party and see a fabulous girl/guy. They walk up to you and say, “I hear you’re fantastic in bed.”

That’s Brand Recognition.

Sad story. I wonder if Davis’ husband and sons arrived late or if she had to deploy early.

Thanks for heads up, Kathy. This is my son’s Brigade. I haven’t heard from him yet. Any word on which Battalion or Company?

Thanks and Praise: I photographed men and women, both Christians and Muslims, placing a cross atop the St. John’s Church in Baghdad. They had taken the cross from storage and a man washed it before carrying it up to the dome.

A Muslim man had invited the American soldiers from “Chosen” Company 2-12 Infantry to the church, where I videotaped as Muslims and Christians worked and rejoiced at the reopening of St John’s, an occasion all viewed as a sign of hope.

The Iraqis asked me to convey a message of thanks to the American people. ” Thank you, thank you,” the people were saying. One man said, “Thank you for peace.” Another man, a Muslim, said “All the people, all the people in Iraq, Muslim and Christian, is brother.” The men and women were holding bells, and for the first time in memory freedom rang over the ravaged land between two rivers. (Videotape to follow.)
