Received from Cliff Leach:
It is my sad duty to report that two North Carolina soldiers were among those killed in the helicopter crash reported this past week in Afghanistan. The names of those killed have not been released by DoD pending notification of their next of kin. The following are taken from news reports in the Fayetteville news paper.
The names of the paratroopers have not been released, but Bob Allgaier told the Omaha World-Herald in Nebraska that one of the soldiers killed was his son, 33-year-old Chief Warrant Officer Chris Allgaier. His wife and three children live near Fort Bragg. I have been in contact with the CAO. CWO3 Allgaier will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery
