8/10/76 ~ 8/12/07
On this Memorial Day we should all take time out to remember all our fallen heroes and servicemen and women in our armed forces. Charles B. 'Trey' Kitowski, III, is a fallen hero and the son of my Class of 1959 classmate, Theresa Martin Kitowski. Trey was her only child/son and was killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan. Trey was living in the Dallas suburb of Farmers Branch but was born in Gulfport, MS. He was assigned to the 345th Psychological Operations Company, 2nd Phychological Operations Group, U.S. Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command (Airborne) at Fort Bragg, N.C. He worked in the finance department at Southwest Airlines in Dallas before deploying to Afghanistan. He earned several military awards, including the Marksmanship Qualification Badge and the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal. He is survived by his parents, Chuck and Theresa Kitowski, of Katy, Texas. The Patriot Guard Riders rode with the family on his last journey to his resting place. Also, killed with Kitowski were Sgt. lst Class Jeffrey D. Kettle, 32 of Madill, OK and Staff Sgt. Jesse G. Clowers, Jr. 27 of Herndon, VA. May they all rest in peace!

Thank you for bringing to our attention the loss of your friend's son and his comrades at arms.
So sorry that Theresa lost her only child. He will be remembered for the good that he did in life.
His service is appreciated and will be remembered!
Thanks so much for coming by cdgardens and "his-self" and making a comment on his behalf and for all our soldiers who have fought the fight and are still fighting so we can enjoy our freedom in the USA.
