A U.S. Army soldier from Painesville is among five killed last week in the Middle East.  

35-year-old Staff Sergeant Kyle KcKee was killed when the Black Hawk helicopter he was riding in crashed. KcKee was part on an international force monitoring the Israeli-Egyptian peace agreement.  A French peacekeeper and a Czech officer were also killed in the crash.  A sixth American was also injured.
