How much can one soldier give, this man, Sgt. 1st Class Kristoffer B. Domeij gave his all.  An Army Ranger who was part of the team that freed Iraq war prisoner Pvt. Jessica Lynch in 2003 has been killed in Afghanistan during his 14th combat tour, leaving behind a wife and two young children. 

Sgt. 1st Class Kristoffer B. Domeij, 29, died on October 22 in Afghanistan’s volatile Kandahar Province when his vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb.

14 tours!!! I can't even imagine that! I extended my only RVN stint for 4 months & it nearly cost me dearly. God bless him.

Rest in peace, Sgt. 1st Class Kristoffer B. Domeij - you have more than earned our thanks and our respect.
