HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. — Jonathan Bellavia knew the news was bad when he saw his sister-in-law last week.
Christine had just been notified that her husband, Army Staff Sgt. Joseph P. Bellavia, 28, was killed in Iraq on Oct. 16 as members of the 716th Military Police Battalion were trying to negotiate with a group of armed men who opened fired near a mosque in Karbala, Iraq.
“He said there was a possibility that he might not come back,” said Jonathan, Joseph’s twin brother and a Hendersonville policeman. “We still thought we’d see him again. He knew he had a job to do. He loved what he did and he wanted to go.”
