The hearse carrying the remains of Sgt. Daniel A. Rodriguez drives past formations of soldiers lining the road out of Wheeler-Sack Airfield.
The Watertown Daily Times reports that thousands of Fort Drum soldiers turned out on Wheeler-Sack Airfield to welcome home Sgt. Daniel A. Rodriguez from Afghanistan;
With several thousand soldiers from the 10th Mountain Division and hundreds of motorcyclists from the Patriot Riders paying their respects, about 15 members of Sgt. Rodriguez’s family gathered for the fallen soldier’s final return home in a somber ceremony Sunday evening.
Sgt. Rodriguez, 28, of Baltimore, was killed on July 18 in Ghazni City, Afghanistan, when the vehicle he was riding in was hit by an improvised explosive device. The attack also killed one other soldier and injured at least one more.
Sgt. Rodriguez was a heavy vehicle driver with the 110th Transportation Company, 548th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 10th Sustainment Brigade.
I think I need a new monitor; this one just went all blurry.
Welcome home, Sgt. Rodriguez. RIP.
RIP SGT. Rodriguez. Our condolences to family, friends and the men and women of the 10th.
RIP. See you on the other side, SGT Rodriguez.
Same here Pinto…
Pinto, my eyes are un-blurred, but my heart is heavy. God Bless them, each and every one.
I’m getting tired of this, smoke those dirtbags or commence retrograde with extreme prejudice.
