Dedicated to an American hero who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
Our effort is dedicated to the memory of Captain Sean Grimes, RN PA, US Army, who was a Physician Assistant serving in Iraq with the 2nd Infantry Division in the Al Anbar province.
Captain Grimes and three other outstanding soldiers were killed by an IED on March 4, 2005. Captain Grimes was volunteering to accompany the combat patrol so he would be closer to the troops if any were to be wounded. He had volunteered to accompany over 80 patrols and raids and had treated over 25 wounded U.S. Troops in addition to wounded Iraqi soldiers, Iraqi civilians and even two wounded terrorists.
Captain Grimes was the first U.S. military Physician Assistant to be killed in action. |
