OMAHA, Neb. — A 21-year-old Omaha native was killed in Iraq on June 10, his uncle said on June 11.
Adam Herold was killed Sunday, Bob Herold said. The military notified family members of Adam’s death, but they had no details of how he died, Bob Herold said.
Adam Herold served in the Nebraska Army National Guard, Bob Herold said.
Three American soldiers were killed June 11 when a suicide bomber detonated a bomb that destroyed a bridge outside Baghdad. There was no immediate confirmation that Adam Herold was among those three soldiers.
As of Monday, 48 U.S. service members with Nebraska connections have died in Afghanistan or Iraq since the beginning of military operations following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States, according to the Department of Defense and family members.




The family of Adam Herold, a U.S. Army soldier from Nebraska who was killed in Iraq, wanted to contribute to conservation in his memory. Adam, like other members of his family, was an avid waterfowl hunter and ardent DU supporter. The memorial marsh project began as an event to honor Adam’s memory. However, DU and Adam’s family have expanded the memorial to include fallen military heroes from across the state. The Fallen Heroes Marsh will be a place where friends and families can come to hunt, watch, photograph or simply listen to ducks and remember the sacrifices made by U.S. military veterans from Nebraska.
