Mrs. Evelyn Kain,
I wanted you to know how much we regret to inform you of the loss of your husband, Captain Tyler Virgil Kain, in the early hours of today. The entire unit joins me in sending our deepest sympathies and understanding during this period of bereavement.
Tyler was one of the best soldiers I had the pleasure of knowing in the 22nd Tactical Battalion. I am personally aware of the numerous professional jobs Tyler did to support his unit and the Battalion mission. Additionally, Tyler spoke quite often about not only you but also your daughter, Alexis. He wanted to make you both proud in what he did.
His personality was one of promoting teamwork and positive motivation. Not once did I not see him without a smile or encouraging words coming from him. Tyler was a top notch officer. I would almost say he was over qualified for the post that he maintained at the battalion.
At this time we are uncertain as to what caused his untimely demise to occur. An unknown assailant was seen leaving the base premise after the military police were dispatched. A full investigation is underway to see why your husband was targeted and taken in a cruel fashion. Office of Naval Intelligence officials can confirm that this was the work of a mercenary and they are extremely dangerous. Tyler's brother, Travis, has been notified to make sure proper protection is given to you and Alexis.
Please know that we share in your pain and sorrow and pay our final respects to one of our best friends and comrades. Tyler will certainly be missed by all of us.
