Christian J. Romig

Army Spc. Christian J. Romig, age 24, was killed on January 5, 2011, in Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan, when insurgents attacked his unit with an improvised explosive device.

Christian Romig joined the Army in May 2008, enlisting for three years. He was assigned to 1st Squadron, 61st Cavalry, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), in Fort Campbell, Ky.

His sister stated that Christian loved “everything Army” since he was little, and always wanted to make people laugh.

In Afghanistan, Christian Romig was a cavalry scout and worked as a gunner on ground vehicles. Christian Romig won an Army achievement medal in Korea last year and recently won a combat action badge after coming under enemy fire in Afghanistan. 

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Christian Romig is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
