In Luving Memory
The Southwest Family has suffered the loss of a Family Member in the line of military duty. Finance Employee Charles Kitowski, an Analyst in our Ticketing Operations group, died on Sunday in Afghanistan from wounds suffered from a road side bomb as he was serving our country in the U.S. Army Reserves. Charles was called into service in January of this year and was due to return home for a break in November. He told many of his friends here at Southwest that he felt a duty to serve our country.
He was assigned to the 345th Psychological Operations Company, 2nd Psychological Operations Group, U.S. Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command (Airborne) at Fort Bragg, N.C.
"Charles died doing what he felt duty-bound to do. Please remember his life, his happy memories, his favorite expressions or advice he ever offered," his family said in a statement.
- On a personal note, Charles was a friend of mine. We had a little group of friends that would have lunch together here at WN Headquarters in Dallas. Charles was a genuine and funny guy. He will be missed by many, including myself. My appreciation goes to him and all who serve in our Military.
