Sgt. Roy died in Nimroz province in southwestern Afghanistan. Nimroz is an area of intense unrest where, in April, suicide bombers tried to kill an Afghan minister and killed three others instead.
Nimroz province in southwestern Afghanistan.
Fighting has been heavy there since last year and, according the news reports, the Marines have been in it helmet high.
Sgt. Roy's career may have been cut short but the announcement of his death tells us that career had merit and moments of valor. With nearly eight years in, 25-year-old Sgt. Roy joined the Marines young - real young
I thank Sgt. Roy for his service and his sacrifice. My condolences to his family on their loss. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and children.
