St. Augustine Man Dies In Iraq

Sgt. Bryan Joseph Tutten became the first St. Johns County native to die in a war-related incident in Iraq when he was killed Christmas day by a roadside bomb.
Tutten, a St. Augustine resident, was on his second tour of duty in Iraq, serving with the 82nd Airborne out of Fort Bragg, N.C. Tutten was a rifleman and squad leader of an infantry company with a wife and two

The Army casualty assistance officers told Tutten’s family he was killed while on operations in Tikrit and implied it was due to an improvised explosive device, said Gary Peterson, who retired as a lieutenant colonel after 33 years in the Army National Guard.
