While out on patrol at approximately noon an IED was detonated by two Iraqi men with the use of a cell phone. Kevin was acting as platoon leader and was located in the 2nd Humvee in the convoy. As fate would have it the explosion occurred just as he passed over it. Kevin suffered critical injuries but managed to hold on long enough for an apache helicopter to rush him to Balad Military Hospital. He lost his battle during surgery, dying of a heart attack from massive blood loss. Kevin loved every one of his fellow soldiers and I know that as platoon leader he would have rather it be him than any of his men. Kevin was the 1722 American soldier to be killed in Iraq, as I write this the number of American soldiers killed now is 2996. It is overwhelming to think of all the families devastated by the loss of their loved ones. My prayers are with the families and the soldiers fighting for our freedom.
THE SOLDIERS CREED
I am an American Soldier. I am a man of the United
States Army a protector of the greatest nation on
earth. Because I am proud of the uniform I wear, I will
always act in ways creditable to the military service
and the nation it is sworn to guard.
I am proud of my own organization. I will do all I
can to make it the finest unit of the Army. I will be loyal
to those under whom I serve. I will do my full part to
carry out orders and instructions given me or my unit.
As a soldier, I realize that I am a member of a
time-honared profession that I am doing my share to
keep alive the principles of freedom for which my
country stands. No matter what situation I am in, I will
never do anything for pleasure, profit, or personal
safety, which will disgrace my uniform, my unit, or my
country. I will use every means I have, even beyond the
line of duty, to restrain my Army comrades from actions
disgraceful to themselves and the uniform.
I am proud of my country and its flag. I will try to
make the people of this nation proud of the service I
represent, for I am an American soldier.
Thanks for looking!
