 FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) - The brass bell tolled 37 times — once for each of the Special Operations soldiers who died in Iraq during the past year — after their names were added to a memorial wall at Fort Bragg.
About 200 family members sat under tents during the ceremony, dabbing at their eyes as names were read. Several hundred stone-faced soldiers clad in the green or tan berets of the Special Forces or Rangers stood outside.
"Their deeds are legends, and we will recount them for years," said Lt. Gen. Richard Wagner, head of the Army Special Operations Command.
