During a Friday afternoon memorial ceremony, the Army’s psychological operations community paid its final respects to one of the victims of the Aug. 26 suicide bombing targeting the U.S.-led evacuation at Hamid Karzai International Airport, in Kabul, Afghanistan.
Army Staff Sgt. Ryan Knauss, a psychological operations NCO, was part of Bravo Company, 9th Psychological Operations Battalion, 8th Psychological Operations Group.
He died along with 11 Marines and a Navy corpsman when an ISIS suicide attack targeted refugee screening points at the HKIA’s Abbey Gate.
Knauss, who hailed from the small town of Corryton, northeast of Knoxville, Tennessee, is survived by his wife, Alena, who spoke with CNN last week about her husband.
