Sergeant 1st Class Andrew Weathers was assigned as a combat medic to 2nd Battalion, 7th SFG (A) ODA 7221, when he died from a gunshot wound on this day in 2014 while conducting combat operations in Afghanistan. He had been in the Army for 11 years. He was also attached to the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade before becoming a Green Beret. Awards include the Silver Star with valor and a Purple Heart. “I am sure that if Andrew had it to do over again, he would choose the same path. He believed in the mission and wanted to make the world a better place," Weather's sister said. "We know that he made a difference in every life he touched. He believed in his team and loved them fiercely. God made Andy to be a Green Beret.”
