8 Carson Soldiers Killed

Monday, October 05, 2009 10:25:03 PM (GMT Daylight Time, UTC+01:00)
To the NORAD and US Northern Command Team,

On Saturday, eight brave members of our Colorado Springs military community were killed in combat in the hills of Afghanistan. By all accounts, the death of these eight soldiers, all members of the 4th Brigade Combat team, marks the deadliest day for Fort Carson since the Vietnam War.

I want to extend, on behalf of our entire command, our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to the families of these brave warriors. The mission of Defending our Homeland is being fought on many different frontlines and we must never forget the dedication and sacrifices of these fallen heroes.

Please take a moment today to remember all who have paid the ultimate price for our freedoms and redouble your efforts in this continued battle against a determined enemy. I will.

I am really sorry!
