The 1st Annual Fallen Hero Devin J. Kuhn Memorial Tournament
Trifecta Sporting Club Saturday, September 7th 2019
2-6pm Devin James Kuhn was born and raised in Far Northeast Philadelphia; Pa. At the age of 21 years old, Devin readily joined the U.S Army in April of 2015. He succeeded immensely in his training, when in Decem-ber of 2015 was assigned to 1st Platoon, Alpha Company, 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment at Joint Base Lewis-McChord located in Washington state. Devin’s many athletic abilities along with his long time aspiring goal to serve his country lead him to be a proud and hard working infantry man. In November of 2016, Devin and his unit deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Freedom’s Sentinel. They safely returned in February, 2017. Devin was then selected to enter Ranger School where he ultimately graduated in August of 2017, receiving his Ranger Tab.
On the evening of January 31st, 2018, Devin Kuhn was killed in a tragic weapons training accident at Camp Rilea in Oregon. This was just 3 days after his 24th birthday and 1 month after he was married to his high school sweetheart, Brittany. After his death, Devin was recognized and awarded posthumously with the Army Commendation Medal and the Good Conduct Medal. Devin graduated from Archbishop Ryan Catholic High School in 2013 and is the �irst graduate to be killed while on active duty.
On September 7th, 2019 the 1st Annual Fallen Hero Devin J. Kuhn Memorial Tournament from 2-6pm at Trifecta Sporting Club ( 4668 E Bristol Road, Feasterville-Trevose, PA 19053) will be held
