Wenger, Adam Mckamey

Adam Mckamey Wenger was a 27-year-old Army sergeant from Waterford, Michigan. He was assigned to Battery B, 1st Battalion, 76th Field Artillery Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, based out of Fort Stewart, Georgia, and deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Sergeant Wenger died on November 5, 2008, in Tunnis, Iraq, a village in Nineveh Province. According to the U.S. Department of Defense, he was killed when his vehicle encountered an improvised explosive device during combat operations.

Operation Iraqi Freedom began with a U.S.-led invasion in March 2003. By late 2008, the conflict had entered a phase characterized by counterinsurgency and stabilization efforts, though attacks with improvised explosive devices remained a persistent threat to coalition forces.

Following his death, Wenger was posthumously promoted from specialist to sergeant. His remains were returned to Michigan, where he was buried with military honors at Great Lakes National Cemetery in Holly.

Sergeant Wenger is memorialized on the Iraq War Veterans Memorial and by his unit. His name is included on casualty lists maintained by the Department of Defense and independent archives documenting the war's fatalities.
