Full Bio
Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan was a Muslim American U.S. Army soldier from New Jersey who was killed in Iraq in 2007. Public memorial accounts record that he enlisted after high school and served in Operation Iraqi Freedom. His awards included the Bronze Star and Purple Heart, and he was buried with military honors at Arlington National Cemetery.
Khan became a prominent example in conversations about Muslim American military service after his grave and story were shared nationally. The Travis Manion Foundation profile emphasizes his desire to show that Muslim Americans could serve and sacrifice for the country. His page should avoid generic patriotic filler and instead document the specific service, family, and public-memory trail around his life.
