U.S. Army Sgt. Michael Sinko an infantryman from the 2nd Brigade Combat Team (502nd Infantry Regiment) “Strike” speaks to a veteran at the Gander Memorial marker, during a ceremony at the memorial site, Fort Campbell, Ky. on Dec. 12, 2015. The ceremony honored the 248, 3rd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment Soldiers who lost their lives in a tragic plane crash in Gander, Newfoundland, Canada, Dec. 12, 1985. The Soldiers were returning from a six-month peacekeeping mission in the Sinai Peninsula. The ceremony marked the 30th anniversary of this tragedy. Sinko is wearing a special period uniform, very similar to the one he wore when he deployed on the peacekeeping mission to the Sinai in the mid-1980’s. He comes back each year on the Gander anniversary to honor the sacrifices of his friends and brothers-in-arms that he lost in 1985. (U.S. Army Photo by Sam Shore/Released)
