JALALABAD AIR FIELD, Afghanistan – Three fallen heroes from 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, were honored in two services at remote combat outposts in northeastern Afghanistan, Sept. 15, 2008.

The tree-covered mountains looked peaceful surrounding the service locations like they could be a part of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado or the Cascade Mountains in Washington, but the calm scene can be deceiving and the Soldiers who live, fight and bleed in those mountains know of a hidden violence that can take their fellow Soldiers’ lives.

Spc. Marques Knight, infantryman with 1st Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment, from San Juan Capistrano, Calif., and Pvt. Michael Dinterman, infantryman with 1-26, from Littlestown, Pa., were honored at Korengal Outpost and Pvt. Michael Murdock, fire direction specialist with 1st Battalion, 6th Field Artillery Regiment, from Chocowinity, N.C., was honored at Combat Outpost Lybert. They were all remembered for their sacrifices and for the lives they lived.
