HOPKINSVILLE, Ky. — A member of the 101st Airborne Division who was killed in a Black Hawk helicopter crash in Iraq was a woodworker who had made a dulcimer that he carried to Iraq with him and was teaching himself to play, his wife said.
Chief Warrant Officer 3 Kyran E. Kennedy, 43, originally from Boston’s West Roxbury neighborhood, was among six soldiers killed in the Nov. 7 crash on the bank of the Tigris River near Tikrit.
Kathy Kennedy said her husband probably had the dulcimer with him when the Black Hawk crashed. The instrument was important to him and provided a sense of peace in the midst of the war, she said.
