Army Sfc.Rehn was assigned to C Battery, 3rd Battalion, 13th Field Artillery Regiment (Multiple Launch Rocket System), Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Rehn was in a Humvee when it was hit by friendly fire. Randy graduated in 1985 from Niwot High School in Niwot, Colorado where he made all state in wrestling and was a standout football player. He had a reputation as a prankster, which started in his teenage years with a joke he pulled while working at a local grocery store. He crouched by a corner as a woman he knew passed by, and he chucked several boxes of condoms into the shopping buggy's lower rack. "Are you sure you need all of these, ma'am?" the clerk asked as he rung up the mortified customer. He enlisted in the Army in 1987 and as a career military man, Randy believed in what he did and never expressed fear about going into war. But he also longed for the day he could return home to his wife and infant daughter. "I hope this is the last time I'm leaving my family for so long," he wrote in a letter before the war started. "See ya' in August," he concluded. He leaves behind his wife, Raelynn, and seven-month-old daughter. Randy loved to golf and hunt and was very outgoing. He was a joker always looking for somebody to play a practical joke on.∼United States Army Sergeant First Class. Killed in action in Iraq during Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freddom. He was from Lawton Oklahoma.
