In April 2010, Patricia Davis and her husband Tony Davis got some news no parent ever wants to hear. Their son, Army Sgt. Anthony Magee was dead. The 29-year-old from Hattiesburg was killed when his unit was ambushed in Iskandariyah, Iraq, during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Magee was serving his second tour in Iraq when he was hit in the head with shrapnel. Other soldiers in his unit carried him to safety and bandaged his wounds with the shirts off their backs. Despite their efforts to save him, Magee later died at a hospital in Germany.
