CHILTON, Wis. — A Chilton native who joined the Army National Guard after high school graduation three years ago has died while serving in Afghanistan.
The Defense Department said Tuesday that Pfc. Kyle M. Hemauer, 21, died Monday from non-combat injuries as he was serving in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
He was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 116th Infantry Regiment, 29th Infantry Division, based in Manassas, Va.
A man who answered the telephone at the home of Hemauer’s parents, Andy and Anne Hemauer, said the family didn’t want to comment but referred the caller to Wieting Funeral Home, which is handling arrangements.
Jason Schneider, funeral director with Wieting, said Kyle Hemauer was born in Chilton and graduated from Chilton High School in 2002. He had been in the military just under three years, he said.
