A Colorado Springs Army Ranger killed over the weekend was remembered Monday as an avid outdoorsman who followed his father’s footsteps to the Army and, ultimately, into Afghanistan.
Pfc. Christopher Horns, 20, died Saturday when insurgents attacked his unit in Kandahar, Afghanistan with an improvised explosive device, according to the Department of Defense.
“He was just a good, honest kid,” said Martha Horns, the soldier’s aunt-in-law. “It’s hard for us to understand this whole thing.”
