One of our own, Gean, served in AFGN with his sister, CPT Sarah Whitten, who is also in the 82^nd Airborne.  She was a good Soldier and hooked him up with a Gator before she was redeployed back to the States.  She also does CrossFit, including this WOD named after her brother.  The area he was killed in was very close to where Gean was during his deployment.  It is the exact same area she was serving as a company commander during her deployment. Her unit lost two Soldiers around a week after they got to AFGN while he was there in 2012.
