Rest In God's Peace, Warrior.
I write something more about Krzysiek. He started service in 1996 in Higher Officer School of Mechanized Infantry in Wrocław. After promoted on 2Lt he was a reconnaissance platoon lider in 1st Armor Brigade. In this time he served in KFOR mission, in Kosovo. In 2005 he started service in 10th Armor Cavalry Brigade. In this time he was deployed to ISAF mission in Afghanistan. In 2007 after selection he was assigned to GROM unit. After Special Warfare Course and Basic Course in 2008 he started service in combat structure of this unit, in Combat Team A, as a Combat Section second in command, and after he was a Combat Section leader (six man structure). During his duty in GROM he was three times in Afghanistan in V, IX and XII Task Force 49 rotation (spring-autumm 2008, spring-autumm 2010, and the last 7 monts rotation began in autumm 2012). Krzysiek was HAHO/HALO jump specialist. He was decorated the Army Cross. Posthumously he was promoted to major, and awarded the Commander's Cross Order of Military Cross (2nd class of this order). He left three sons and wife Iwona. I hope that I can post this picture. There is a bank account number where you can pay financial assistance for Krzysztof family. The financial aid provide a "Allies Foundation" which was founded by former GROM soldiers and supporting those who were injured or harmed in active duty, and famillies those who dead.
