Three soldiers died in stateside
training last week, the Army said
Friday. A soldier in Ranger school died
Wednesday at
Fort Benning, Ga., and
another died Thursday at Fort
Jackson, S.C.
On Wednesday, 2nd Lt. Michael R. Parros, 21, died, two days after
his first day of Ranger School at Fort
Benning. An Army release said the West Point graduate
had been hospitalized with hyponatremia, abnormally low sodium
levels in the blood typically linked to excessive water intake. It
can be aggravated by other factors, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Ranger School is designed to push soldiers to physical and mental
limits in a grueling, 61-day course.
A soldier at Fort Jackson collapsed Thursday following a 2-mile run
at the end of his physical fitness test and later died at the
hospital, base spokesman Patrick Jones said. The name of the soldier
has not been released, and the incident is under investigation.
That death is at least the second this week linked to a severe
reaction following a morning physical training run. Spc. Matthew R.
Hester, 28, died at
Fort Carson, Colo., on
Monday, shortly after he collapsed, the Army said. Hester, a combat
medic, was assigned to the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team of the
4th Infantry Division....

Statement by Secretary of Defense Ash Carter on the Death of
Army Reserve Captain Antonio Brown
I am deeply saddened by the news that a Soldier in the U.S.
Army Reserve was among the victims of the tragic shooting in
Orlando over the weekend.Capt. Antonio Davon Brown served
his country for nearly a decade, stepping forward to do the
noblest thing a young person can do, which is to protect
others. His service both at home and overseas gave his
fellow Americans the security to dream their dreams, and
live full lives. The attack in Orlando was a cowardly
assault on those freedoms, and a reminder of the importance
of the mission to which Capt. Brown devoted his life.
The men and women of the Department of Defense grieve
with Capt. Brown's family and with all of the families and
loved ones impacted by this tragedy. We stand with the
people of Orlando and the nation's LGBT community during
this difficult time, and stand in determination to defeat
ISIL and prevent the spread of its hateful ideology.

http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2014/08/29/officials-plan-identify-mass-pilot-killed-virginia-crash/YFSPmqBdd0r9WinLk7XkSJ/story.html
After more than 17 years flying the F-15, Lieutenant
Colonel Morris “Moose” Fontenot Jr. was on track to reach the highest
heights in the United States Air Force.
Fontenot, however, had different aspirations, and sought
more stability for his family, who moved every two to three years as
active duty service shuffled the fighter pilot around the globe, his
commander said.
He finally started to put down some roots in February
when he joined the Massachusetts Air National Guard and took a position
with the 104th Fighter Wing at Barnes Air National Guard Base in
Westfield, Mass.
But his new life took a tragic turn on Wednesday when the
F-15C aircraft he was piloting crashed in the mountains of western
Virginia. Officials carried out a two-day search before announcing late
Thursday that Fontenot had been killed. Fontenot’s unit made his name
public on Friday....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the request of the Fontenot family, RRVA has opened 529 Plans
immediately so that media notification of deaths, funeral services,
etc., can contain information to permit donations for the education
of the Fontenot children.
"In lieu of flowers, the Fontenot family would request a tax
deductible donation be made to college 529 plans to benefit the
daughters of Lt Col Fontenot. In response to the tragic loss of Lt
Col Fontenot, the River Rats have established college savings 529
plans to accept tax-deductible contributions for the Fontenot's
children's college education. Anyone wanting to honor Lt Col
Fontenot, may contribute to funds providing 529 College Savings
plans."

The senior enlisted soldier for 2nd Battalion, 5th
Infantry Regiment has died from wounds suffered in Afghanistan, the
Defense Department announced Thursday.
Command Sgt. Maj. Martin Barreras, 49, of Tucson, Arizona, died Tuesday
at San Antonio Military Medical Center in Texas. He died from wounds
suffered on May 6 in Herat province, Afghanistan, when enemy forces
attacked his unit with small arms fire, according to information
released by DoD.
Barreras became the top enlisted soldier for 2nd Battalion in March
2013. The unit is part of 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division
at Fort Bliss, Texas.
Elements of 2nd Battalion deployed to Afghanistan in December, according
to information from the 1st Armored Division.
“Command Sgt. Maj. Barreras was my friend and battle buddy,” said Lt.
Col. Edward Brady, the battalion commander, in a statement. “I’ve spent
more time with him than my wife since I’ve taken command. I believe that
I was the luckiest battalion commander in the Army to have him as my
command sergeant major.
“While every soldier in this formation is extremely saddened by his
loss, his Bobcats are doing exactly what he would expect of us:
continuing on with the mission and taking the fight to the enemy. This
man would do absolutely anything and everything to ensure his soldiers
came home safely.”
Barreras joined the Army in 1988 after serving in the Marine Corps for
five years, according to information from the division.
He served for 22 years in the 75th Ranger Regiment, serving in 1st and
2nd Battalions, the Special Troops Battalion and the regimental
headquarters.
In the Ranger Regiment, Barreras served in virtually every enlisted duty
and leadership position and completed multiple combat deployments to
Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as Operation Just Cause in Panama,
Operation Restore/Uphold Democracy in Haiti, and other special
operations contingency missions.
Following his time with the Ranger Regiment, Barreras was the command
sergeant major of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit.
His awards include the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star Medal with V device,
Bronze Star with three oak leaf clusters, Purple Heart with one oak leaf
cluster, Meritorious Service Medal with two oak leaf clusters, Joint
Service Commendation Medal with one oak leaf cluster, Iraqi Campaign
Medal with three stars, Afghanistan Campaign Medal with four stars,
Combat Infantryman Badge with one star, Expert Infantryman Badge, Ranger
Tab, Master Parachutist Badge with bronze star, Military Freefall Badge
and Pathfinder Badge.
Barreras is survived by his parents and two brothers, his wife, three
