LINCOLN PARK, Mich. -- A local community is mourning after one of their own was killed in an ambush in Iraq.

Craig S. Frank, a Michigan National Guard military police officer, died Saturday in an ambush while guarding a convoy traveling north of Baghdad, his mother said. She said her son was hit in the back with a rocket-propelled grenade as his unit drove through Beiji.

Frank, 24, of Lincoln Park, was due to come home Aug. 11 after two extensions of duty.

He reportedly came home for most of June to be with his father who was recovering from open-heart surgery.

Before heading back to Iraq, he spoke with one of his neighbors, Local 4 reported.

"I told him, 'Everybody here is proud of you. We're supporting you. You tell your guys back in your outfit … We're supporting them 100 percent.' And he said, 'OK. Thanks a lot, sir.' He's a good kid," said Andy Davis, of Lincoln Park.

Frank joined the National Guard just a few weeks after the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
