COL KB Reed passes after a long fight with cancer.
A heads up to alert the community that we lost a long time brother today - still on active duty - COL KB Reed passed today after a long fight with cancer. He started his SF career back in 7th SFG(A) in the late 70s as an enlisted soldier and then on to Det K in Korea after that to 10th SFG(A) and then as a Intel Officer for the remaining time he served. KB loved life and all that was in it. He loved to have fun and being with friends. His contributions to our nation will continue on for a long time as his legacy lives on through his work and soldiers he impacted. May God bless KB and his family. KB can now take his place among those that have gone ahead of him.

KB,
One hell of a boss and one hell of a man. Best 4 years of my life working with that man.
You will be missed.
