Correction: Iraq-US-Deaths Story

Monday, Aug. 27, 2007 | 11:07 a.m.

In an Aug. 17 story about U.S. military deaths in Iraq, The Associated Press, relying on information from the Department of Defense, erroneously reported the name and rank of a slain soldier. His name was legally changed from Willard M. Kerchief III to Willard M. Powell, and he is a corporal, not a private first class.

The change lowers The Associated Press' count of U.S. military deaths in Iraq by one because both versions of his name were counted.
