Five More Trees for the Fallen
FORT STEWART - A memorial to fallen soldiers was expanded Thursday as soldiers and family gathered to honor the lives of five more 3rd Infantry Division soldiers killed in Iraq.

Amid occasional rain and haze from the wildfires in southeast Georgia, they stood as each soldier's name was read aloud and granite markers were uncovered at each Eastern Redbud tree planted for the fallen.

"I'm humbled to speak of five great people, five great soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice," said Col. Todd Buchs, garrison commander at Fort Stewart. "They each answered their nation's call to duty, serving to protect what we all hold dear."

The trees dedicated Thursday bring the number of Eastern Redbuds at Fort Stewart's memorial, Warriors Walk, to 326.
