NAWA, Afghanistan — During a brief meeting at the Nawa District Center Police Station, Afghanistan, Marine representatives thanked and offered condolence payments July 17, to family members of three Afghanistan National Police officers killed in the past two weeks.
“We’re very proud of their service and we’re going to remember them,” Lt. Col. Jeffery Holt, commanding officer, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, said. “We want to build a memorial to your sons and to your brothers so they can always be remembered by us and by others.”
Holt spoke with a father and brothers of the recently lost officers, both asking what Marines in the area could do to help and offering thanks for their families’ sacrifices.
“Nothing is going to replace your son, but I’d like to offer a small token of appreciation from the United States of America and the men who served with him,” Holt said. “I just want to thank you, shake your hand and offer my condolences for those lost.”
