The Department of Defense reports the death of Chief Warrant Officer 2 Lee M. Smith, 35, of Arlington, Texas due to non-combat-related injuries on Veterans’ Day. The accident, which is being investigated, occurred at Camp Taji, Iraq.
Mr Smith was assigned to 101st Combat Aviation Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
Never good to see troops die (even though we all know it’s part of war, and the cost of Freedom), but somehow it’s tougher when it’s a “non-combat” death..
May God be with his family. Rest in peace CWO2 Smith.
RIP brother.
RIP Chief
Rest in peace Mister Smith.
I thought they closed Taji down?
