 U.S. Marine Staff Sgt. Dustin Hanson, a section leader with Charlie Company, 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, observes a moment of silence in respect of Lance Cpl. Ramon T. Kaipat, an infantryman who served with Charlie Co., 1st LAR, and 22-year-old native of Tacoma, Wash., during a memorial service here, April 16, 2012.
Kaipat was killed in action during a dismounted patrol in support of combat operations in Helmand province's Khan Neshin district. Kaipat's
brothers-in-arms remember him as a caring and humble warrior, who placed
the welfare of his fellow Marines before his own.
