ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The soldier who died of injuries sustained in a bear attack Tuesday in Alaska has been identified by the Army as Staff Sgt. Seth Plant.
Plant was part of a small group in a training area west of the Anchorage Regional Landfill when the bear attacked.“Staff Sgt. Plant was an integral part of our organization. He was a positive and dedicated leader who brought joy and energy to the paratroopers who served with him,” said Lt. Col. David J. Nelson, 3rd Battalion, 509th Parachute Infantry Regiment commander. “His loss is deeply felt within our organization and we offer our sincere condolences to friends and family.
