Rest in Peace Kevin Dupont: Another Mass. soldier makes the ultimate sacrifice
Back in April we told you the story of Kevin Dupont from Chicopee, MA. Kevin is a 52-year old Army National Guard soldier who volunteered to go to Afghanistan. He was severely injured in an IED explosion while riding in a humvee. He suffered expensive burns and he was fighting for life at US Army Burn Center at Brooke Army Hospital in San Antonio, Texas. His friend, MA State Police Sgt. Jim Deyermond, shared Kevin’s story and joined us on the radio,
Kevin had a web site established where his wife Lisa provided daily updates on his condition. I read her updates daily and was blown away by her strength, spirit, faith and love for her husband. She is a remarkable woman.
After an incredibly courageous and difficult fight, Kevin Dupont passed away this morning. He was to be awarded the Bronze Star today. My thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family, they really rallied behind Kevin and Lisa, a true testimony to the man he was.

hi. i went to the great american jeep rally last year and came across the flyer from the event. i did not realize that the 2009 rally was dedicated to him. i am married to a man that was in the ranger regiment and have great respect for him and anyone who is rightfully serving the many people and families in this country. for all of Kevin’s friends and family my heart goes out to you. is there an honest donation site or collection for him and his wife? Thanks Rachel Anne
