[Q-TIP]

ALCON, FYI SFC Randall Lamberson unfortunately died on 10 APR 2006 from wounds sustained in an IED attack on 09 APR 2006 in Iraq. He was a true "Red Devil" and served with the 508th during the Panama Assault in 89. He was also a 1st ID LRSD brother and will be dearly missed. Some of the old LRSD brothers were able to attend his funeral and we are keeping in touch with his family; after all they're our family too.

Further, I posted Lambo's announcement on military.com and his wife, Dana, wrote in reply:

rmslambo here, thank you (edited for PERSEC) for your words of memory with Rand. Our daughter has created a memory page in his honor: randall-lamberson.memory-of.com/about.aspx you may visit this website and post messages and "light a candle" for him as well. Please share this weblink with all who knew him. She checks the site often, and is very touched by everyone who lights a candle for him and sends a message to her/us. Thank you again (edited for PERSEC), take care, mslambo

Check out the site and light a candle for him.

Here's more: SFC Randall L. Lamberson earned the Combat Infantryman’s Badge during the 1989 invasion of Panama. He subsequently joined the Duty First Patrol, the First Infantry Division Long Range Surveillance Detachment, where he participated in numerous training exercises including two NTC Rotations where dwell time and communications distances were set. He participated in the Big Red One’s first airborne operations, both at Fort Riley and at Twenty-nine Palms. Along with the rest of his team, he participated in the first successful long range mission in all of 7th Corps during the Persian Gulf War. SFC Lamberson was killed on Monday April 10, 2006 in an IED attack near Ramadi, Iraq, while a member of 1st Battalion 502 Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault). Throughout his brief but entire career, SFC Randall L. Lamberson has lead Infantrymen, served Infantrymen and died an Infantryman while setting for other soldiers an example epitomizing the Infantry motto: "Follow Me"

Last, one of our old LRSD commanders got Lambo awarded the St. Maurice medal as well.

Rest in Peace Lambo! Eyes Out Front, Duty First and Fury From the Sky!
