Sad news: Alum is killed in Iraq
It is with deep sadness that we note the passing of Nathan J. Schuldheiss ’05, who was killed while serving as a civilian anti-terrorism investigator with the Air Force in Iraq on November 1, 2007. Special Agent Schuldheiss had volunteered for service in Iraq after graduating from Roger Williams University School of Law. During his five months in Iraq, the efforts of Nathan Schuldheiss and his team led to the arrest of more than a dozen insurgents.
“He was absolutely patriotic. He has a quote in his will that says something like, ‘War is not the worst of things. Even worse is the person who believes that there is nothing worth fighting for…’ ” according to his father, Jeff Schuldheiss, a resident of Newport, R.I.
Nathan made the ultimate sacrifice for his country and Roger Williams is proud to be his alma mater. Our prayers go out to his family at this sad time.
