Army officer from Kentucky killed in Iraq

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - A U.S. Army Reserve officer from central Kentucky died Friday in a roadside bomb explosion, his widow said Sunday.

U.S. Army Maj. Michael Lewis Mundell, 47, of Brandenburg, Ky., was killed Friday in Fallujah, Iraq. He was serving with the 108th Division, a training unit of 4,500 soldiers that is headquartered in North Carolina. Military officials had not announced the death Sunday evening through the Department of Defense.

Audrey Mundell, 41, said casualty officers arrived at their home in Brandenburg about 5 p.m. Friday. "My first thought was, 'Are you sure? Are you sure it's him?'" she told The Associated Press.

Her husband, who went to high school in Pennsylvania, had served 11 years in the Army before rejoining in November 2005. He left for training at military outposts nearly a year ago. He left for Iraq on Father's Day last year, Audrey Mundell said.

Mundell had been working with other soldiers looking for improvised explosive devices, known as IEDs. She said his main duty was helping train the new Iraqi army.

"The casualty officer told me that it doesn't matter how good a soldier they are. It's a matter of being at the wrong place at the wrong time," she said.

Just a day after Thanksgiving, he had been wounded when a sniper's bullet pierced his portable radio and Kevlar vest. When wounded, he looked in the direction of the shot and saw a sniper in a minaret of a mosque, his widow said. They were unable to find the shooter.

He was supposed to be on "light duty" but refused less dangerous assignments, Audrey Mundell said.

She said her husband of 21 years had trained his whole life for a military career. "But once our kids came along, his perspective changed a little," she said.

The couple met while she was a college student at Elizabethtown Community College and he was taking an advanced officer course at Fort Knox.

In addition to his wife, he leaves four children, Erica, 17; Ryan, 14; Zachary, 13; and Dale, 11.

Mundell's body was to return Sunday evening to the United States. Burial will be in Kentucky.

Not really sure. We are advisors to the Iraqi army and live on their FOB with no other Americans. We can use books, magazines, games, things for our spare time. We cannot get to the PX/MWR often, so entertainment is at a premium. We dont have much down time, but we have little to do with it!

(Reset this page or Go to the Search Page.)

IMPORTANT! DO NOT PRINT THIS PAGE!!!

Why? Because this list changes all the time due to unit movements, soldier transfers, or even soldier casualties.
It is also illegal. ALL content on this site is copyright Any Soldier Inc.
DO NOT send any letter or package to a soldier's address unless you check this web site the same day you mail your packages.
Please do not burden the soldiers or the APO/FPO by sending things when the soldiers are gone. If a soldier is not listed here anymore then that soldier's address is expired. Check here often!

Note that some of the units do not have ranks shown on their addresses.
This is done at the unit's request, but ALL of our contacts ARE soldiers.

Be sure to change the "ATTN" line to "ATTN: Any Female Soldier" if your package is for a female soldier!

DO NOT expect, or require, a reply from a soldier.
DO NOT use this program if you expect or require a reply.
A supporter said it perfectly, "I mean, these guys and gals have other things on their minds, y’know? Like...oh, STAYING ALIVE?"


(NOTE *): Effective 1 May 2006 this web site added a major layer of security to our contacts' information. This change is necessary to protect our troops and ensure that Any Soldier will continue to operate.
The ONLY changes are that the addresses of our contacts are now hidden and the number of addresses you can get are limited. You may obtain addresses simply by clicking on the link provided and correctly filling out the form, the address will then be emailed to you immediately.

(NOTE **): The number shown is how many times a form was submitted requesting this address. This does NOT necessarily mean that this contact will be helped by that many folks. Rule of thumb is that anything 5 requests or less may in fact be no support at all. No way to tell exactly unless the contact lets you know in his/her update how much support they are getting.

(Note 1.): Note that postage to APO AE and FPO AE (E = Europe) is only to NY where the connection to the APO/FPO (APO = Army Post Office)(FPO = Fleet Post Office) is, or to San Francisco for APO AP and FPO AP (P = Pacific), so you don't pay postage all the way to Iraq/Afghanistan. You might consider picking contacts closer to your mailing area to help cut the cost of mailing. If you live on the East Coast, pick "AE", West Coast, pick "AP", Midwest, well...uh, Thank You for your Support! ;)

New with us (December 2005) you might notice "APO AA" and "FPO AA". This is for units in the Caribbean/South America. Normally. However, due to the nature of some units they may be in Iraq but have an address showing "FPO AA". Mail addresses to "AA" goes out of Miami, Florida.

(Note 2.): Why are military addresses weird? There isn't a street address or city. What gives? Correct, just about everything about the military is weird to civilians. Military units are very mobile, during war they move around a lot, often they become part of even another unit. The APO (Army Post Office) and FPO (Fleet Post Office) assign APO and FPO numbers as needed, they are NOT static. An APO number may be for a large unit, or a location. An APO number for Baghdad today may be for Frankfurt tomorrow.

(Note 3.): The "Expected to leave" date is only an approximate and is one of the least reliable things on this web site. It is because of this that you must check often before you send anything to this unit. There are a few reasons this date is not reliable, to include: it IS a war, it IS the military, we ARE dealing with the APO. The only thing that does not change in the military is that things will change. PLEASE NOTE that a soldier will be dropped off our active list 30 days PRIOR to their end date to avoid mail bouncing.

(Note 4.): (Removed for OPSEC reasons)

(Note 5.): The lines, "Contact with approx number of soldiers:" and "Approx how may female soldiers:" have NOTHING to do with unit strength. They are approximately how many other soldiers the contacts believe they can get packages to. This helps you understand that you should not send 100 packages to someone who only deals with 10 soldiers.
Don't forget that if your package is for a female soldier, be sure to change "ATTN: Any Soldier®" to "ATTN: Any Female Soldier".

(Note 6.): This is simply where the unit this contact is from. This is NOT a true picture of the folks in the unit as most all units are made up of folks from all over the United States.) A "Composite Unit" is one made up of other units and is usually temporary for a particular mission.

(Note 7.): Updated APO/FPO mailing restrictions courtesy of Oconus.com (Note: About Restriction "U2": "U2 - Limited to First Class Letters", Box "R" is for retired personnel that live overseas and are still authorized an APO/FPO box. Their address will be something like Box 3345R. Doubt you will see anything like that in Afghanistan or Iraq or ...)
