The Daily News-Miner has an article describing the recent dedication of a new memorial honoring fallen soldiers from the 172nd SBCT. Excerpt:

FAIRBANKS — Hundreds of veterans, active-duty soldiers and family members of those killed in action gathered on Fort Wainwright on Wednesday afternoon for the dedication of a new memorial.

The Monterey Lake Memorial Park features 30 black granite plaques and trees along a winding path along the lake. Each plaque and tree is dedicated to the 26 members of the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team and the four members of the Alaska National Guard killed during the unit’s deployment to Iraq from August 2005 through December 2006.
