Re: The Iraq Page, RIP soldiers
 
Charles Jason Jones

Courier Journal -- FRANKFORT, Ky. -- Military officials are investigating the unexplained "non-combat" death of a Kentucky National Guard soldier in Iraq this week, the head of the state Guard said yesterday.
Sgt. 1st Class Charles Jason Jones, 29, was found dead in his quarters at Camp Liberty in Baghdad about 6 a.m. local time on Wednesday, a Guard spokesman said.
Kentucky Adjutant General Donald Storm said there was not enough information as of yesterday to determine how Jones died, including whether foul play, natural causes or suicide might have been involved.
"He was a fine soldier who died serving his nation in a faraway land," said Storm, who knew Jones as a boy and had helped recruit him.
Gov. Ernie Fletcher ordered flags at state office buildings lowered to half-staff in honor of Jones, who was the 12th Kentucky National Guard soldier to die during the war on terror.
