Ira Daugherty
has taken a temporary departure from his Winchester roots. Private
Daugherty, of the 4th Stryker Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, has traded in
Ale-8 and green fields for H20 and desert terrain. He has just
embarked on his first tour to Iraq. A loving son, brother, uncle and
boyfriend, Pvt. Daugherty keeps his family in his heart. To a true
soldier, stoic and brave, full of compassion and strength, talented and
driven. Daugherty we salute you!!
