It is with deep sorrow that we received the tragic news of another soldier yet to have joined ranks with the Army in Heaven.

Whatever the words, we would not be able to ease the pain the death of aidman Corporal Ionel Gheorghita DRAGUSANU, killed while doing his duty in Afghanistan, caused to his family, friends or comrades.

It is such a big loss for his family and equally big for Ionel's other family, the Romanian Army, who provided the uniform he so dearly wore.

We will never forget the ultimate sacrifice he made and will keep his memory alive by praying for his rest.

May you rest in peace, dear comrade!

Chief of Romanian General Staff, General Eugen Badalan
