PHOENIX -- For the second day in a row, an Arizona soldier has lost his life in the war in Iraq.

Sgt. John Kyle Daggett was seriously injured early this month in a roadside bomb attack.

He was operated on in Iraq and then flown to a military hospital in Nova Scotia.

Daggett was from here in the Valley. He graduated from Pinnacle High School and was deployed from his training base in Oahu, Hawaii, in January.

Daggett was 21 years old.
