I reported earlier today about the death of another American soldier….at the time his name had not been released……that has changed and I would like to update my report……
A Special Forces soldier, SFC Jeremy Griffin, was killed on Monday, September 16, 2019 in Afghanistan. He died of wound from small arms fire while engaged in combat operations in Wardak province, Afghanistan. He was a member of the 3rd Battalion, 1st special Forces Group based at Joint Base Lewis-McCord, Washington.
Jeremy Griffin was born in Cristobal, Panama in December 1978. He enlisted into the U.S. Army in 2004. He deployed to Iraq in 2006 and Afghanistan in 2009 with the 82nd Airborne Division. He had also served with the 7th Special Forces Group. After attending and graduating from the Special Forces Qualification Course in 2014 as a Special Forces Communication Sergeant he was assigned to 1st SFGA.
Our thoughts go out to the family.
May Sgt. Griffin Rest In Peace.
Panama. Isn’t that one of those ‘shit hole’ countries that Mr Trump didn’t want any immigrants from?
Seems to be OK if they get killed fighting for the US in Afghanistan though. Sad news.
Best wishes, Pete.
