RELEASE NUMBER: 100720-04
DATE POSTED: JULY 20, 2010 U.S. Army Special Operations Command Public Affairs 
Sgt. Justin Bradley Allen FORT BRAGG, N.C. (USASOC News Service, July 20, 2010)—A U.S. Army Ranger was killed in a fire fight with enemy forces while deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. The Ranger was assigned to Company D, 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, Hunter Army Airfield, Ga. Sgt. Justin Bradley Allen, 23, a native of Coal Grove, Ohio, was killed in Kandahar Province, by enemy forces on July 18. Sgt. Allen was leading his team in an assault on an enemy position when he was mortally wounded by enemy small arms fire. Allen enlisted in the U.S. Army in May 2006. For almost four years, he served as a grenadier, automatic rifleman and most recently as a team leader in 1st Bn., 75th Rgr. Regt. “Sgt. Allen was an absolute warrior who was admired and respected by everyone,” said Lt. Col. Michael Foster, 1st Bn. commander. “He was a man of immense talent and capabilities, and a bedrock of Delta Company. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Allen family.” Allen was on his second deployment to Afghanistan with two previous deployments to Iraq. “Sgt. Allen epitomized the Ranger Fire Team Leader - skilled Warrior, always led from the front, and cared fiercely for his men,” said Col. Michael E. Kurilla, commander of the 75th Rgr. Regt. “He is a hero to our Nation, the 75th Ranger Regiment, and to his family.” Allen is survived by his parents Roger and Bonnie Sue Allen of Coal Grove, Ohio. Click here for Allen's bio. |

Directed traffic last week for Marine Corporal Larry Harris, KIA in Afghanistan on 070110, he was carrying a wounded Marine when he stepped on an IED and took the full brunt of the explosion, killed instantly, the man he was carrying survived. It was about 95 degrees that day. I was thirsty and uncomfortable in my vest. I thought that while I go peacably about my night in my air conditioned home these guys go without showers, good food and clean clothes. And ultimately and too often they die for - me... I am quite clear on this, they sacrifice and fight "over there" so that I dont have to do it in a shopping mall or train station. I can't think of any adequate to thank them. All I can do is pray for them and think of them often. Thank You Corporal Harris. Thank You Sergeant Allen. Thank You All.
