"Our hearts are heavy as we continue to learn details of this weekend's deadly crash in Afghanistan involving three local soldiers. In these moments we are reminded of the unparralled sacrifice of our nation's military. We owe our brave service men and women an immeasurable debt of gratitude for fighting for our freedom and safety. God bless these brave soldiers and their grieving families. May they be forever remembered as heroes and patriots."
