Friends and family of the fallen soldiers paid homage to their memory and witnessed the unveiling of the bronze likenesses of their personal heroes. Among the crowd were six special guests -- the platoon-mates of Dolan, flown in from Fort Lewis, Wash., with the help of Lt. Col. Jeremy Horn and Lidia McClung of Hill Air Force Base. Horn, McClung, members of the American Legion Post 134 and other volunteers arranged for the fallen soldiers' platoon-mates to fly into Hill AFB and stay at hotels without cost.
"It takes away a lot of the barriers, and it gives closure for the troops," said Horn, who helped arrange for a C-17 to fly the platoon-mates out of McChord Air Force Base, Wash.
