Walsh and His Unit Were Attacked
A shot rang out and Kilgore detailed what happened to her husband next. “[Nick’s] friend said he felt a bullet whiz by him and then he heard Nick say, ‘Oh that hurts,’ and then he just fell to the ground and everybody ran to take cover.” The bullet from an enemy sniper had struck Walsh’s arteries and one of his lungs. Sadly, he didn’t survive. He was only 26 years old at the time.
