The U.S. Military Monday announced Tyler James Feehan and Isabella Gonazales, 19, of Carrolton Texas were killed in the attacks on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan Friday. <\/p>\n

They are the first U.S. troop deaths from direct Iranian fire since the war began. <\/p>\n

Governor\u00a0Josh\u00a0Green\u00a0ordered the United States flag and the Hawaii state flag to be flown at half-staff at all state offices and agencies, as well as the Hawaii National Guard, through sunset on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, in honor of Feehan. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cFirst Lieutenant Feehan served our nation with courage and made the ultimate sacrifice,\u201d Governor\u00a0Green said in statement. \u201cJaime and I extend our deepest condolences to his \u02bbohana, friends and fellow service members. His death is a painful reminder of the human cost of war. Hawaii mourns alongside them and will always remember his bravery and selfless service.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hawaii\u2019s Congressional delegates also issued statements. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are heartbroken by the loss of 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan of \u02bbEwa Beach, who gave his life while serving our country.\u201d Senator Brian Schatz said. \u201cMy thoughts are with his family, loved ones, and fellow soldiers as they grieve this unimaginable loss. May his memory be a blessing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, my thoughts and aloha are with 1st<\/sup> Lt Feehan\u2019s family, and the families of all the brave servicemembers killed and injured in this war.\u201c said Senator Mazie Hirono. \u201dAs we honor their service and sacrifice, I remain committed to doing everything in my power to bring an end to this war.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe loss of any of our service members is tragic, but of one of our own \u2018ohana is especially deep,\u201d said U.S. Representative Ed Case. \u201cI extend my deepest sympathies to Lt Feehan\u2019s family with our Hawaii\u2019s lasting gratitude for his service to our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis tragedy strikes especially close to home because Tyler was one of Hawai\u02bbi\u2019s own, from \u02bbEwa Beach. Today, our \u02bbohana and the entire nation mourn Tyler and Isabella, two young Americans taken far too soon while serving our country.\u201d said U.S. Representative Jill Tokuda. \u201cWe hold their families, friends, and fellow servicemembers close in our hearts. Every life lost is one too many, and we must keep fighting to end this war and bring our troops home safely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Feehan was a first lieutenant and will be posthumously promoted to the rank of captain. He\u2019ll also be awarded the Bronze Star, Purple Hearth, and Combat Action Badge medals. He was assigned out of Fort Bragg, North Carolina, to the 32nd Army Air Missile Defense Command. <\/p>\n

Gonzales was a private with the 10th Army Air Missile Defense Command in Ansbach, Germany. <\/p>\n
