McMINNVILLE (AP) - 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. He and five other members of the 43rd Combat Engineer Company were hit by pieces of flying metal.

The soldiers were flown to a military hospital in Germany for treatment. Goldsberry's family expects him home within a month for a month of recovery.

After that, he is expected to return to Colorado's Fort Carson, where his unit was stationed before shipping out to Iraq.

"I'm not crying," said his mother, Julie, who heard the news from her son's commanding officer. "I'm just happy he's coming home. I'm thankful he's alive."

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.
