Wednesday, September 13th we will honor US Army Spc. Hilda Clayton.

Background: US Army Spc. Hilda Clayton, 22, of Augusta, Georgia, died on July 2, 2013 from injuries sustained when a mortar malfunctioned during an Afghan National Army training exercise in Qaraghahi, Afghanistan. Clayton, assigned to the 55th Signal Company and the 21st Signal Brigade in Fort Meade, Maryland, was providing Combat Camera support at the time of her death.
Clayton, a visual information specialist attached to the 4th Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division based at Forward Operating Base Gamberi, was part of a training mission certifying Afghan forces on mortar operations.
The 22-year-old from Augusta, Ga., was tasked with documenting the event as well as training an Afghan Army photojournalist who also died in the accident.
The photos, which were published in the May-June edition of the Army’s Military Review journal, show the moment a mortar tube exploded, killing Clayton and four Afghan soldiers on July 2, 2013, in the eastern Afghan area of Qaraghahi.
“Not only did Clayton help document activities aimed at shaping and strengthening the partnership but she also shared in the risk by participating in the effort,” the journal said in an article accompanying the photos.
She was the first Army combat documentation and production specialist to be killed in Afghanistan.
The unit has named its annual competition the SPC Hilda I. Clayton Best Combat Camera (COMCAM) Competition in her memory.
Her name is also etched into the Hall of Heroes at the Defense Information School in Fort Meade, where she graduated in 2012.
She is survived by her husband, Chase Clayton.

Tuesday, September 12th we will Honor USAF Staff Sgt. Travis L Griffin, 28, who was killed April 3, 2008 in the Rasheed District of Baghdad, Iraq.

USAF Staff Sgt Griffin knew the dangers of serving in Irag, but the 28-year-old VOLUNTEERED anyway as part of a yearlong deployment to help train Iraqi police officers. Griffin was on patrol in central Baghdad when his vehicle encountered a roadside bomb and he was killed.
Griffin who had served in the Air Force for nearly nine years, was a member of the 377th Security Forces Squadron at Kirkland AFB. He had been stationed at the Albuquerque base since July 2004.

"He died doing what he loved," said Griffin's mother, Christine Herwick. Herwick and Griffin's stepfather, Donald Herwick III, said he was born in Okinawa, where the Herwicks were both on active duty, and traveled with them from base to base.

"We knew there was a risk every day, " Donald Herwick said. "He wanted to be there."

Col. Robert Suminsby, installation commander at Kirkland, said Griffins's mission in Iraq was much more dangerous than what most airmen are confronted with. "Most deploy for four to six months. He actually volunteered to go on a 365-day tour," Suminsby said. "He was one of the folks that really stepped up to do not just a very dangerous and demanding mission, but one that was going to last a lot longer."
Griffin had been in Iraq since October and was working with the 732nd Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron. As part of the squadron's Detachment 3, Griffin and his fellow airmen were focused on helping build Iraq's police force. In a November interview with the American military newspaper Stars and Stripes, Griffin said, " I want to leave knowing that we've done something."

He is survived by his wife, Krista, and his son, Elijah, 5.
