Fort Lewis on Tuesday gathered to mourn the loss of the first servicemen from the 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division to be killed in Iraq.

Airmen and soldiers remembered Army Maj. Horst Gerhard “Gary” Moore and Air Force Master Sgt. Steven Auchman, who were killed in a mortar attack Nov. 9 on their quarters at Camp Freedom.

“To honor the memory of these two outstanding servicemen we are called to renew our commitment to the cause of justice, liberty and peace for which they served, and ultimately gave their lives,” chaplain Henri Fisher told the 300 or so who attended the joint service at the Main Post Chapel.

Both men were eulogized as dedicated military men who took good care of the soldiers and airmen who worked under their supervision.
