Fallen Comrade

We lost and Advisor this week. He was killed in action while on operations with his Iraqi Unit. Operational Security requires me not to mention his name or his unit, nor the location of his death.

He leaves behind a family who will miss him very much. Those of us who remain here will miss him as well.

I did not know this soldier very well, as we are a large organization scattered all across Iraq. I had met him during our training prior to coming over, and again after I arrived in country.

He is not the first Advisor to fall. I doubt he will be the last. His sacrifice will be remembered.
