SAULT STE. MARIE -- Another soldier from the eastern U.P. has died in Afghanistan. Army Specialist Brandon Steffey died Sunday in a roadside bombing.
Funeral services are being planned for the 23-year-old who grew up in Sault Ste. Marie.
Steffey joined the Army in 2006. He served two tours of duty as a K-9 handler. He was interviewed just last week for a military news article about K-9 units in the military.
Earlier this month, Christopher Griffin of Kincheloe was killed near the Pakistani border.
