Kiel soldier killed in Fort Hood attack

By ASSOCIATED PRESS Friday, November 6, 2009 - 12:21 p.m.

KIEL — A Wisconsin mother says her 29-year-old daughter is among the soldiers killed in the Fort Hood, Texas shootings.

Jeri Krueger of Kiel told the Herald Times Reporter of Manitowoc that she was informed early Friday of daughter Amy Krueger’s death.

The mother says her daughter was an Army sergeant with the Madison-based 467th Medical Detachment and had arrived at Fort Hood on Tuesday. She was scheduled to be sent to Afghanistan in December.

Kiel High School Principal Dario Talerico told The Associated Press that Krueger graduated from the school in 1998 and was proud to serve her country. He says she had spoken at least once to Kiel elementary school students about her career.

Jeri Krueger says her daughter joined the Army shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Queen B it has been well reported that before shooting he screamed allah akbhar, which means god is good. This is what terrorists shout before they detonate IED's as well. Our thoughts and prayer are with the family and units of the fallen.

It is wrong to blame a entire religious group for the actions of one. There has been no suggestion that he was doing anything but acting a lone.

This is heartbreaking. Many of those young soldiers were just beginning their careers of service, and others had already given much to their country, but to die unarmed in a place where they believed they were safe is difficult to accept.

Krueger Family,
I am so very sorry to hear about the tragic loss of your daughter. And, thank you for her service to our country. It is people like Amy that makes our country the best place in the world to live. Again, I am sorry.
