Michaud Mourns Death of Soldier from Maine
LEWISTON, ME – Today, Congressman Mike Michaud issued the
following statement after learning of the death of Sergeant Brandon Silk of
Orono, who died on June 21st while serving in Afghanistan
with the U.S. Army’s 101st
Aviation Battalion from Fort Campbell,
Kentucky.
“I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Sergeant Brandon Silk. Words
cannot express the honor with which he served his country and the sadness and
loss his family now feels. Our state has a long tradition of coming
together during a crisis, and I know the entire Orono community and all Mainers
will join me in assisting Brandon’s
family with whatever they need during this difficult time. When we lose a
soldier from one of our communities, we lose not only who they are but who they
could have become. This is a poignant reminder of the extraordinary
bravery and sacrifice required of our service members and their families.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.”
