Eric served over 21 years in the military, on his fourth deployment to Afghanistan, he was severely wounded by a rocket-propelled gr£nade in an ambush, suffering brain and spinal injuries, but fought on for five hours, saving several teammates' lives. He rehabilitated and fought to stay on active duty. On November 27, 2018, at age 39, he was KIA when an improvised expl0sive device struck his vehicle during combat operations in Ghazni Province, Afghanistan, as part of Operation Freedom's Sentinel.

Lest We Forget... A native of Chandler, Arizona, US Army Staff Sergeant Alexander Conrad d¡ed on June 8, 2018 from wounds sustained in action while supporting Operation OCTAVE SHIELD in southern Somalia. SSG Conrad was conducting an operation with partner forces when he was fatally wounded by enemy indirect fire.

Please help me honor Specialist Brittany Bria Gordon, a 24-year-old U.S. Army intelligence analyst, from Florida, KIA on October 13, 2012, in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. On her first deployment she volunteered for a site survey mission with Afghan forces when a s*icide bomber detonated an IED, taking her life along with a CIA officer and four Afghans. Heroes like Brittany remind us of the real cost of freedom.

On this day we remember Corporal Jeremiah Baro and Lance Corporal Jared Hubbard, 2/5 STA, both KIA on November 4, 2004. Baro and Hubbard had been friends since high school and joined the Marine Corps under the buddy program after 9/11. They both deployed to Iraq for the invasion with 2/5, but in different companies. After returning from Iraq they both took and passed the Scout Sniper Indoc. They deployed to Iraq a second time in 2004 as a Sniper/ Spotter team. Late one night they were crossing a road during a patrol when an IED exploded and they were both fatally wounded. They had spent their teenage years together, joined the Corps together, fought together, and on that November night, they died together. May their sacrifice never be forgotten!
