Air Force Master Sgt. David A. Scott
Died July 20, 2003 Serving During Operation Iraqi Freedom
51, of Union, Ohio; assigned to the 445th Communications Flight, Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio; died July 20 of a non-hostile cause in Doha, Qatar.
The first time Master Sgt. David A. Scott joined the military, he was drafted into the Army to serve in Vietnam. But when he returned, serving 12 years as a Marine and more than a decade in the Air Force Reserve, it was by choice. During the conflict in Iraq, he served at the U.S. Embassy in Doha, Qatar, helping to grant diplomatic clearances and ship equipment to the troops. The 49-year-old assistant chief of information systems died July 20 of a brain aneurysm in Doha. The Union, Ohio, resident was based at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. "Everybody loved him," Debra Scott said of her husband, whom she called "a real nice guy." He enjoyed watching football and making friendly bets with family members on NFL games, she said. He also liked hunting and fishing.
