HOLLANDALE, Miss. -- Family members said an Air Force captain from Mississippi was among four U.S. military service members killed when their helicopter went down in Iraq.
Margaret Evans of Hollandale, Miss.i, said her son, Kermit Evans, died Sunday when the Sea Knight helicopter plunged into Lake Qadisiyah in Anbar province.
He was a native of Hollandale and a graduate of Mississippi State University.
Evans, 31, was serving his second tour in Iraq.
His mother said he enlisted in the Air Force in August 2001 and was promoted to captain in November 2005.
She also said he had received orders about three weeks ago that he was going back to Cannon Air Force Base near Clovis.
