Delta Co. 2nd Battalion 27th Infantry Regiment

10/17/2013

There are certain people who have had an impact on my life that I will just never forget. For the last two weeks there is one that has been on my mind a lot. I remember him specifically starting on 08 OCT and more on 13 OCT because of the events that surrounded him two years ago. What I remember him for is his care for others, determination to win, courage to face the danger, and humor to make darker moments a little brighter. SSG Taylor, this shout out is for you.

For those of you that don't know, on 08 OCT 2011, the Wolfhounds began a deliberate offensive operation in Northern Kunar Afghanistan to close the Ghazibad Gap and build OP Shal. The operation resulted in an estimated 150-200 enemy combatants killed or severely wounded, a significant decrease in violence and increased stabiltiy in area well after our battalion return home.

While the gains were great, so were the losses. We lost two great Americans during intense fighting at OP Shal. One a combat medic from the 82nd, SGT Cowdry. And the other, SSG Houston Taylor, 4th PLT, Delta Company.

You will always be remembered.

Special congrats to LT Higuchi for a "True Blue" performance and former D Co Platoon Leader LT Grue for the fastest 12-mile roadmarch time in the BDE of 2 hours 06 minutes.

Also, just a reminder that the Regimental Picnic on Watts Field is currently underway. Come on out for a great time and meet the 4 orphans from the Holy Family Home Orphanage in Osaka that arrived on Monday for the 64th annual commemoration of our continued history with the orphanage.

Pictures of all events are coming soon.

The only difference between Memorial Day and every other day to a veteran is the number pictures taken of what we are thinking about. Thank you to all of our Soldiers past and present for your service to this great nation.

"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died, rather we should thank God that such men lived." GEN George Patton

May their sacrifice never be in vain and the memory of them never be forgotten. Here's to our fallen Wolfhound brothers. We remember!
