Joshua McIntosh Obituary - Death Notice and Service Information

LOCATION

Kingman, Arizona

War might seem far away to youngsters growing up in Kingman, Ariz. Not to those who knew Joshua McIntosh. Seaman McIntosh, 22, who enlisted in 2001, served in Iraq as a Navy hospitalman in charge of aiding injured and sick Marines. He died June 26, 2003, in Karbala, Iraq, after a non-combat related shooting. He was based in Twentynine Palms, Calif. As Kingman High School students gathered last Veterans Day to remember those who served their country, taps was sounded after McIntosh's name, and that of another graduate killed on active duty, were read. Then, Principal Pat Mickelson asked military personnel, past or present, or their relatives to stand. "I think you begin to see the scope of the cost this duty has on us," Mickelson said.

It was on my wrist the entire deployment and through the next deployment as well. I made Chief in 2017 and the band remained with me throughout the entire initiation process including the final night. I went to put it on the morning that my anchors were to be pinned and it broke in half, as if to say you made it, carry on. Josh has been with me the entire...
