Rest in Peace, to one who gave "the last full measure of devotion."
Prayers for his family.


Does anybody know if he was a hospital corpsman attached to the Marines?

A U.S. Navy explosive ordnance technician died Monday after an improvised explosive device attack on his convoy in northern Afghanistan, according to a Department of Defense news release.

Petty Officer 2nd Class Tony Michael Randolph, 22, of Henryetta, Okla., was assigned to Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit Eight based in Sigonella, Sicily, the Navy said. He deployed with his platoon to combat homemade bombs.

Randolph's commanding officer, Cmdr. Todd Siddall said in a statement that Randolph "brought an incredible sense of youthful spirit, professionalism and dedication to this unit. He will forever be remembered by his fellow sailors as an example of true service to country and selfless sacrifice.”

Randolph enlisted in the Navy in 2005. In 2006, he spent a year at Joint Forces Staff College in Norfolk. His awards include the Bronze Star with Valor, Purple Heart, and Combat Action Ribbon.

That's a brave man.

PS- Don't say stuff like "EOD" without 'splainin it to us civilians.
