Afghan Army Pays Respects to 2/2 Fallen

Afghan national army soldiers pay their respects to two Marines from Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, during a memorial service on Contingency Operating Base Sher, in Garmsir, Afghanistan, Dec. 13. Lance Cpl. Nicholas J. Hand, an assaultman with Fox Company, and Lance Cpl. Jonathan A. Taylor, a rifleman with Fox Company, were killed in action while conducting counterinsurgency operations in Garmsir, Afghanistan. "I think they would say 'I want you to hunt that much harder," said Capt. Scott A. Cuomo, the commanding officer of Fox Company, while addressing his company during the memorial. "I want you to search that much harder, until the day you go home." Courtesy Photo
