Ken K. Hermogino

U.S. Army Sgt. Ken K. Hermogino, age 30, was killed in Herat Province, Afghanistan on May 9, 2011, in a non-combat related vehicle accident.

He was assigned to the 7th Squadron of the 10th Cavalry Regiment, which is part of the 4th Infantry Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team.
Jesus, pray for Ken

"He was very sweet and… very talkative and fun and full of life," said family members, who also stated that he truly enjoyed the military and was proud of his unit and of his service to the country. 

Ken joined the military two months after the 9/11 attacks. He had served in the Air Force, and had earned Air Force and Army achievement medals.  He joined the Fort Carson cavalry squadron in June, just before the unit deployed to Afghanistan. He'd been in Afghanistan for 11 months and was due to come home in just a few weeks to be re-united with his wife, Monica, and 5-year-old son.

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