Sgt. First Class Kristoffer B. Domeij was killed in Khandahar province on a combat operation by an IED. Domeij was on his 14th combat deployment with a total deployed time of 48 months cumulatively since 2002. At 29, having enlisted in 2001, this man had spent the balance of his adult life as a professional soldier. Also killed in Saturday's blast were First Lieutenant Ashley White, 24, a Cultural Support Team member, and fellow Ranger Private First Class Christopher A. Horns, 20, who was on his first combat deployment.
My thoughts and prayers are with the families.
