Ranger Domeij died in Afghanistan on his 14th deployment

Post by C-MAC »

All I can muster is RIP and thank you. Also to his family, you and Kristoffer will always be in my prayers.
The United States Army is today mourning one of its most courageous and decorated heroes.

Sergeant 1st Class Kristoffer B. Domeij was one of three soldiers killed by a roadside bomb last Saturday near Kandahar Province.

Remarkably, the elite ranger, who died when the team triggered an improvised device, was serving his 14th deployment at the time.

In an extraordinary career, Sgt. Domeij was decorated a number of times - and crowning it will be the Purple Heart that military chiefs have confirmed he will be awarded posthumously.

I read this online yesterday and I tell you I was moved. There is no price, no amount that can ever replace a man like that. This man was the epitome of what an Army Ranger is and should be. I'm in awe and just don't know what else to say. What a tragic loss for this country.......
