(AP) - Three soldiers from a Fergus Falls National Guard unit were injured recently in Iraq.
The soldiers were in a Bradley fighting vehicle that was hit by an improvised explosive device near Fallujah last week.
Sharon Casey is with the Fergus Falls Family Readiness Support Group. She says the most seriously injured was Adam Drechsel of Fargo, who suffered a fractured vertebra and finger.
Drechsel is being treated at a hospital in Germany.
Casey says Tony Sellner of Dalton had a minor concussion and Tyler Halvorson of Fergus Falls had bumps and bruises. The two were treated for their injuries and are back at the base in Fallujah.
