Note, the above information can also be obtained by visitiing
the website posted with this listing. The following information was
also taken from that web site.
Proud to be a "Screaming Eagle," Wolfe was a Flight Platoon
Leader with the 101st Aviation Regiment.
Wolfe was among the 17 soldiers -- all members of the 101st
Airborne -- who died just after sundown when a pair of Black Hawk
helicopters collided in mid-air over a residential suburb outside
Mosul, Iraq's third largest city. Unconfirmed reports indicate that
Wolfe was the pilot of either a helicopter carrying a quick
reaction force or another that was taking a group of soldiers on a
transport mission.
Shortly after the crash, a U.S. officer in Mosul who declined to
be identified told Reuters that one of the aircraft was hit on the
tail wing by a rocket-propelled grenade.
