USASOC remembers fallen heroes.(UPDATE)
Rain mixed with tears from family and friends of fallen special-operations Soldiers as the names of their lost loved ones were unveiled on the memorial wall at the United States Army Special Operations Command's annual memorial service for fallen special-operations warriors.
Lieutenant General Robert W. Wagner, the USASOC commanding general, hosted the event. "Today ... we honor our nation's greatest heroes, 32 special-operations Soldiers who, during the past year, answered our nation's call and gave their life preserving freedom and our way of life," Wagner said.
"Their image, and your image, reflect what is absolutely the very best of America, courageous heroes who knowingly and selflessly serve our nation to preserve our way of life," Wagner continued. "We gather to honor [these] men and women of uncommon courage, valor and service, and the families and communities who reared, nurtured and instilled the values that matured youngsters into the character of American heroes."
The names of more than 800 heroes are inscribed on the wall, men and women who have served in such far-flung countries as Vietnam, Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan.
