Senior Airman Adam P. Servais
Sr Airman Adam Servais died while on a combat operation with one of our company's teams up in the Uruzgan province. Up to the time of his death, Sr Airman Servais provided unparalleled support to our Special Forces teams and he shared responsibility for the tactical success of many operations he was involved in from the planning up to the execution. Many of our team members broke bread and fought along side Sr Airman Servais. He was truly a Special Operations Warrior and he will be missed by us all. Our hearts go out to his loved ones and fellow Special Tactics team mates. "De Oppresso Liber"

I just spent two weeks in a class with a bunch of young CCTs and PJs.
These young kids are hard workers and will do an outstanding job with good leadership.
RIP, SrA Servais.
Sorry for your loss, Bas. He sounds like he was a squared away young trooper.
