The agency will add the names of Sgt. 1st Class Clinton Wisdom, of Atchison,and Sgt. Don Clary,of Troy, to a memorial honoring those who have died in service while protecting DIA personnel.
Clary and Wisdom were killed in November 2004 while protecting a contingent of DIA staff and members of the Iraq Survey Group. The soldiers positioned their vehicle between a suicide bomber's vehicle and the DIA staff vehicles traveling in a convoy in Baghdad.
The DIA memorial was created in 1988 and was redesigned in 1999.
