A 23-year-old Fort Campbell soldier from eastern
Kentucky was one of two soldiers killed in Afghanistan
when their vehicle struck a roadside bomb.
The Department of Defense
said in a statement Thursday that those killed were Spc.
Jeremy R. Gullett of Greenup, Kentucky and Staff Sgt.
Kevin C. Roberts of Farmington, New Mexico.
The department said the
men were killed May 7th in Afghanistan's Sabari District.
Both were assigned to the
101st Airborne Division's Fourth Brigade Combat Team at
Fort Campbell.
Gullett joined the Army
in 2003 when he graduated from Greenup County High School.
His unit was deployed to
Afghanistan in March, a week before Easter. He previously
served 2 1/2 years in Korea.
