The Department of Defense announced today the death of two soldiers who were supporting Operation Enduring Freedom.
They died Oct. 6 in Chak district, Wardak Province, Afghanistan, of gunshot wounds suffered while on dismounted patrol.
Killed were:
Warrant Officer Joseph L. Schiro, 27, of Coral Springs, Fla., and
Staff Sgt. Justin C. Marquez, 25, of Aberdeen, N.C.
They were assigned to the 1st Special Forces Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne), Fort Bragg, N.C.


Justin and I went through the Q course together and were on the same Robin Sage team. You all know how close you get with your Robin Sage teammates. We were neighbors and friends. He was one tough mofo, hard as nails, quiet, never complained, and just a damn hard worker. I'll miss you Justin. :(

Rest in Peace Chief Schiro and SSG Marquez. The best of us....
