This morning the Department of Defense announced the death of another U.S. soldier who was killed in Afghanistan when his unit was attacked by small arms fire from enemy forces.
Newlywed, Pfc. Theodore M. Glende, 23, of Rochester, N.Y., was killed Friday night, July 27, 2012, in Kharwar in Logar province.
PFC. Glende was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team, Vicenza, Italy.
The 173rd Airborne brigade marks its fourth loss in a week’s time with Pfc. Glende’s death. Logar province has become an extremely volatile region of Afghanistan.
