Six other soldiers were wounded and four were killed din the incident.


Comments For "Grants soldier injured in IED explosion":

I think it's a bit of taboo to tell too much on kind of OPSEC, and families being notified. I won't get into specifics. SGT Martin is with 2/25 SBCT out of Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. God bless him and may he recover completely from his injuries. For his four brothers... You are not forgotten. Those who were responsible will in due time be brought to justice. For now, Drop rucks, drink water, and rest in peace brothers.
