“Our thoughts are with the family of Spc. Delgado,” said Lt. Col. Michael Post, commander of the 101st Brigade Support Battalion, in a statement. “We will continue to provide support to Oscar’s family as we grieve the loss of one of our own and come to terms with this tragedy.”

Thank you for letting us know SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL that the body of SPC Oscar Delgado was found on post at Fort Riley after he had been missing since June 24.
While it is very sad that he is dead, at least his body has been located. This hopefully will give his grieving family some solace.
