"Rock" Donahue now in Iraq


Donahue family - 2006

My brother-in-law has recently been deployed to Iraq. He is stationed in Bagdad while his family is stateside. He will not be back until 2009.

Please pray for his safety and for his family during his absence.

Your brother in law is also a very good man. I knew him at VMI and I got to serve with him in the 307th Engineer Battalion, 82nd Airborne Division at Bragg where I believe he obtained the name Rock from the company he lead so well. We got to be fellow company commanders for a while there.

I found this trying to get in touch with him to congratulate him on his selection for promotion to Brigadier General. The last time I got to talk to him was at an engineer conference where he was hoping for good news on his Brigade Command. He got that command and, like this promotion to a flag officer, certainly deserved it. Rock or Scott as I knew him before his military career, has been on the right track since he showed up at VMI. You should all be very proud of him. I know that I am. Van Noah
