2nd BCT Media Links

This blog centralized media links for the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division during its deployment from Korea to Iraq as part of OIF 2.5, Aug 2004 - July 2005. It was updated daily over the year, with only sporadic updates since. It is left on-line for historical interest (although many links are likely now broken) and as a tribute to the 2nd BCT servicemen who lost their lives serving in Iraq. May they rest in peace and may their legacy be forever remembered.

Articles 5.28.2005

The Indianapolis Star has an article on a Memorial Day Weekend service for fallen veterans. One of the attendees was the father of Pfc Stephen Downing, of 2-17th FA, who was killed in Ramadi on 10.28.2004. One quote: "He held out a picture of his son, sitting atop a Humvee and holding a machine gun. "He felt like it was the best job in the world because he was protecting his friends," his father said."
