San Antonio — A Seguin High School graduate and Special Forces soldier died Wednesday of injuries from an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan, according to the Seguin Gazette-Enterprise.
Staff Sgt. Richard L. Vazquez, 28, graduated in 2004 from Seguin High and was a resident of Louisiana at the time of his death, according to the paper. He served on the 3rd Battalion, 7th Special Forces Group, colloquially known as the Green Berets.

this doesn’t have a date of the incident, was it Wednesday?
So sad. RIP.
Pull our troops out now from that horrible hell-hole know as Afghanistan. Feckless nation-building in that backward country is not worth the life of one American serviceman or woman.
God bless him for the ultimate sacrifice.
RIP
I live in that area at the moment, New Braunfels actually
Why? For what effing reason did he die for? Every death there since Obozo was elected the blood is on his hands.
The Jedi are busy fighting the Clone Wars. Meanwhile they’re not around back in the Empire to stop the power consolidation going on.
I agree with every comment posted here so far.
Always sad to see such a death, but his should instead have been an engagement gainst the invasion on our southern border.
Without San immigration policies THERE CAN BE NO “WAR ON TERROR”.
IT IS A HUGE AND HIDEOUS LIE.
US military personnel are going to be in Afghan for a looooonnnngggggg time. The draw down is a smokescreen. There will be continual buffoonery with a skeleton force still active in Afghan unfortunately.
You forgot the part about Glass it over and finish “eliminating” the rest of the goat rapers around the planet while that part “cools off” then bring in the dozers and grind the glass back to sand and build a giant club med.
Notice that there is no casualty count by the media since Obozo was elected?
Yes, the 13th according to the DOD release
Thanks. amazing how we have to find this info out this days. Never front page news. Just awful. Our military deserves way better.
His death made local news only, that is why I posted it. Our sons are still dying over there and there is no mention of it.
It is even hard to find out the deaths anymore as well. Horrible.
I actually saw it on a Brit news search engine. One article, and then confirmed it on the DOD news releases.
These guys are our heroes and they are being treated the same way a Muslim would treat a swine.
I agree with your comment.
