AFA Grad Killed In Afghanistan Buried Next Week

An Air Force Academy graduate who was killed in Afghanistan late last month will be buried at the academy next week.

A burial service is scheduled for 11 a.m. on Tues., May 17 at the Catholic Cadet Chapel. A graveside service will immediately follow at the Academy cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family is asking donations be made to Elizabeth and David Jr.’s education fund at www.airwarriorcourage.org, specifying “For The Maj. David Brodeur 529 college fund.”

Maj. David Brodeur, 34, died in Afghanistan during a firefight at Kabul International Airport on April 27. Brodeur was serving with a NATO team training the Afghan Air Force.

Broduer was a 1999 graduate of the academy.

The public is invited to attend both services, the family said.
