A 23-year-old U.S. Marine with ties to Red Oak was among 13 service members killed in a terrorist attack Thursday in Kabul, Afghanistan. According a statement from the family released to KETV in Omaha, Corporal Daegen William-Tyeler Page was killed when a suicide bomber detonated a device near the city’s airport in the wake of mass evacuations from the country.

The statement said Page was raised in Red Oak and attended high school at Millard South in the Omaha metro. Corporal Page joined the Marines in 2019. He was a member of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California.

His family says after finishing his enlistment, Daegan planned to come home and go to a local trade school, possibly to become a lineman.
