Their Story
Sergeant First Class Ramon Sheldon Morris was a 37-year-old soldier from New York City. He served as a combat engineer with the 43rd Combat Engineer Company, 2nd Squadron, 3rd Cavalry Regiment, based at Fort Hood, Texas.
Morris died on December 12, 2014, at Bagram Airfield, the largest U.S. military base in Afghanistan. According to the Department of Defense, he was killed by hostile enemy action. The specific details of the incident were not publicly disclosed in initial reports.
His death occurred during Operation Enduring Freedom, the U.S.-led military campaign in Afghanistan that began in October 2001. By late 2014, the mission was in its final stages, transitioning to a smaller NATO-led training and support mission named Resolute Support. U.S. and coalition forces remained engaged in combat operations, primarily from major bases like Bagram.
Morris's death was reported by several national news outlets, including The New York Times, which listed him among U.S. service members killed in the conflict. The Army released a statement confirming his death and extending condolences to his family and unit.
Sergeant First Class Morris is memorialized on the Afghanistan War casualty lists maintained by the Defense Casualty Analysis System and other military remembrance sites. His unit, the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, continued its mission until the conclusion of Operation Enduring Freedom later that month.
