Every day throughout the Project Valour-IT fundraiser, which runs from October 26th, to November 11, we will be featuring a Marine (fallen heroes, active duty or retired) to honor. Today’s hero is fallen Marine, Captain Kyle VanDeGiesen:
Local boy made good, had it all, gave it all. One of 14 Americans to die in Afghanistan yesterday. Another 12 were injured. Boston Herald.
A standout local high school and college quarterback who took his game to the field of mortal combat as a Marine Corps attack helicopter pilot was killed in the service of his country yesterday.
Capt. Kyle VanDeGiesen, 29, a North Attleboro native, a husband and a father, was one of 14 Americans killed in two crashes involving three choppers in Afghanistan yesterday – the deadliest day for Americans there in four years.
