Suh, James Erik

James Erik Suh served as a Petty Officer Second Class with the Navy's Special Delivery Vehicle Team 1, based in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. His service took him to various global locations, including Afghanistan, where he was deployed as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.

On June 28, 2005, Suh was in Asadabad, Afghanistan, when he became one of the casualties during a hostile incident. His life was claimed at the age of 28, a young age for someone who had already seen significant service.

The conflict in Afghanistan, known as Operation Enduring Freedom, began on October 7, 2001, following the events of September 11. It marked a prolonged military engagement that continued until December 2014.

Suh's death came as part of the broader efforts of the U.S. military to dismantle terrorist networks in the region. His passing, alongside others who served, is a somber reminder of the human cost associated with military operations.

James Erik Suh's contribution to his unit and the mission is remembered by his fellow service members, family, and his community in Deerfield Beach. His commitment to duty reflects the responsibilities shouldered by military personnel worldwide.

Operation Enduring Freedom concluded in December 2014, marking the end of a 13-year conflict. See the full roster of those killed in this conflict.

Among those documented in the same conflict: Losano, Raymond, Andrews, Evander Earl, Edmunds, Jonn Joseph, Stonesifer, Kristofor Tif.
