Sixth Velvet Hammer

A velvet hammer is sent when there is a loss in the the brigade. Peace be with the families of our fallen soldiers. God bless our troops!

On the 23rd of May I was notified by LTC Quagliata (3rd BrigadeRear-Detachment Commander) that our Squadron has suffered the loss of two of our soldiers from HHT/3-1 CAV. The soldiers lost their lives whileconducting combat operations in Iraq. The next of kin of our fallen soldiers have been notified. I ask you for your prayers for these Blackhawk soldiers and their families.

Very Respectfully,
1LT Justin Below
