Kevin Albright

Kevin Albright (1978-) was a US Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant, best known for his valiant efforts during the 2016 Riyadh embassy siege. Born in Indiana, he was raised in foster homes after his mother overdosed on drugs and his father did not show up, and he graduated from IU Bloomington before joining the US Marine Corps in response to the Islamic State's beheadings. He was posted at the US embassy in Riyadh, and he assumed command of the marines after Gunney Raines was killed in action. His skills led to all of the Americans surviving, and he was promoted from corporal to Gunnery Sergeant to replace Raines.
