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 30th of October I was notified by LTC Gale (3rd Infantry Division Rear-Detachment Commander) that our Brigade has suffered the loss of three Soldiers from A/1-15 IN. The Soldiers lost their lives while conducting combat operations in Iraq. The next of kin of our fallen Soldiers have been notified. I ask you for your prayers for these Sledgehammer Soldiers and their Families.

Respectfully,
LTC Scott Quagliata
