YAKIMA, Wash. — The Defense Department on Thursday confirmed the death of an Army master sergeant serving in Afghanistan.
Master Sgt. Mark W. Coleman, 40, of Centerville, Wash., died Sunday at Khakrez, Afghanistan, of wounds sustained when his unit was hit with an IED, the Pentagon said. He was assigned to 2nd Battalion, 1st Special Forces Group, out of Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash.
Coleman’s family told the Yakima Herald-Republic they were informed he was killed while leading a foot patrol in a rugged, rural area of Kandahar province. Coleman was a 22-year veteran of the military and on his third tour in Afghanistan. He joined the Army in 1988 after graduating from Goldendale High School.
