Christopher J. Speer

Sergeant First Class (SFC) Christopher J. Speer was a soldier in an American special forces unit, who was mortally wounded during a skirmish in Afghanistan, on July 27 2002. Speer died of his head wound approximately two weeks later.The incident received attention because he was injured by a fifteen year old Canadian, Omar Khadr, who was subsequently detained and imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay, and may face trial for murder by a US military tribunal in 2006.   Colonel Morris Davis, Khadr's prosecutor, in statements to the press, said that Khadr owed his life to American medics who stepped over the dead body of their colleague to treat Khadr's wounds. Speer died from his wounds on Aug 6 2002 at the age of 28. On the second anniversary of the skirmish SFC Speer's widow Tabitha and a comrade of his, Layne Morris, initiated legal proceedings to claim compensation from the estate of Omar Khadr's father Ahmed Khadr.
