For His Country

Please take a moment to reflect on the sacrifice of Sgt. 1st Class Kristoffer Domeij of San Diego, who was killed in Kandahar Province last weekend by an improvised explosive device.

Sgt. Domeij was 29 years old and the father of two girls.

Sgt. Domeij was on his 14th combat deployment since enlisting in 2001.

I wish I could say something about that,  but everything I write sounds jingoistic or empty.
