    He was one of those men who was known by all as much for his humor, enthusiasm, and loyal friendship as he was for his unparalleled skill and bravery under fire.
    — 2nd battalion commander Lt. Col. David Hodne, in the Tacoma News Tribune

    Sgt. 1st Class Kristoffer B. Domeij, 29, of San Diego, Calif., was killed Oct. 22 in Kandahar province, Afghanistan when his unit was attacked by enemy forces using a roadside bomb.

    Kris Domeij has always been a guardian angel. He was my first friend when I moved to San Diego and he protected me from all the bullies at school. He is a good man, father, husband, and brother. This country took a huge hit when we lost Kris. I know you look down everyday at your wife, and little girls, and brother. Love you Kris
