Kisseloff, Denis Deleon

Sergeant Denis Deleon Kisseloff was a 45-year-old soldier from Saint Charles, Missouri. He served with the 1141st Engineer Company, 203rd Engineer Battalion, part of the 372nd Engineer Brigade based in Kansas City. His unit was attached to the 82nd Airborne Division for its deployment to Afghanistan.

According to U.S. Department of Defense records, Kisseloff died on May 14, 2010, at Forward Operating Base Shank in Logar Province, Afghanistan. The official casualty report lists his death as the result of hostile action. No further specifics regarding the incident were publicly released by the military.

Kisseloff was killed during Operation Enduring Freedom, the U.S.-led military campaign in Afghanistan that began in October 2001. The mission involved combat operations against Taliban and al-Qaeda forces, as well as training and reconstruction efforts. FOB Shank, located in a volatile region southeast of Kabul, was a frequent target for insurgent attacks, including rocket and mortar fire.

His death was recorded in the Defense Casualty Analysis System on the day it occurred. He was one of at least 1,114 U.S. service members killed in Afghanistan in 2010, the deadliest year of the war for American forces at that time.

Sergeant Kisseloff's name is inscribed on the Afghanistan War Memorial at the National Infantry Museum in Georgia. He is remembered by his unit and community as a senior non-commissioned officer who served on multiple deployments, including to the Philippines and the Horn of Africa.
