The Department of Defense reports an Idaho soldier has died in Afghanistan. Sergeant Daniel Brown of Jerome died last week in Kandahar province. He died after his unit was attacked with an improvised explosive device.
He was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 8th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, Fort Carson, Colorado.
Brown’s family says he loved football and baseball. He felt a call to join the Army after the September 11 terror attack. The 27-year-old leaves behind a wife and their 3-month old twin daughters.
