Army Sgt. 1st Class Michael Egan, 36, a 1987 graduate of Pennsauken High School, was one of four soldiers reported killed when their vehicle was blown up by a roadside bomb in Iraq, family members said.
Egan, who had a wife and 3-year-old daughter in New Castle, Del., was serving in an Army National Guard unit based in Philadelphia and had been deployed to Iraq for less than three months, his family said.
He was one of four soldiers killed when their vehicle exploded Monday. Although they were serving in the Army, the soldiers were attached to the 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force, according to the Associated Press, quoting U.S. military officials.
The incident occurred near the insurgent stronghold of Ramadi, about 70 miles west of Baghdad, the Associated Press reported.
