I didn't know Meredith well but I did talk to her and Robert just before they rolled out of Bagram. They both were in good spirits and devoted to their mission. At all times, I wear a simple black wrist bracelet with their names and the date on it in their memory.

Now teaching IED Defeat to troops in Camp Carroll and Henry, Korea - every class is dedicated to her service and honor.
