Honoring the Fallen


"Lord, bless these heros;
Who have given their lives.
Comfort their children;
Their husbands and wives.

Let us not forget;
They have given their all.
Let the bugle be silent;
Let no more soldiers fall."

These are pictures of the memorials that have been constructed on FOB Delhi; a somber reminder of the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country and for their comrades in arms. Lord, let us never forget those who have laid down their lives so that we may live a life of  freedom, safety, and justice.


Memorial Chris's battalion made for the Marines who have been killed in action in this area of operations since April 2010.


The names of the fallen are written on the stones placed at the base of the cross as well as the plaque in front.




The British Armed Forces memorial.




"Greater love has no one than this,
that he lay down his life for his friends."
John 15:13
