MCMINNVILLE - A soldier from McMinnville suffered a broken leg and might lose sight in his right eye after being hit with shrapnel during a grenade attack northwest of Baghdad, his relatives said.

Pfc. Trevor Goldsberry, a 2001 graduate of McMinnville High School, was riding in a Humvee last week when a rocket-propelled grenade struck the undercarriage and exploded. <cut

Another Oregon serviceman, medic Kyle Rovetto, 20, of Milwaukie, was wounded July 4 when his sleeping quarters came under mortar fire in Tirkuk, north of Baghdad, his relatives said.

Rovetto suffered shrapnel wounds to his face, back and buttock.

He underwent surgery Sunday to remove shards from his back. He was one of 18 soldiers injured in the attack, which claimed one life.
