Today I'll be reciting the fallen from the war in Afghanistan in the order of their casualty, beginning with the first one, Master Sergeant Evander Andrews, and ending with the last, HM3 Maxton Soviak. As I say these names, I'll be taking a mental walk around buildings in my mind that I know very well. These buildings will help me remember what I'm supposed to say and remember the names. The final thirteen that we lost at Abbey Gate are in this room that I'm sitting right now, and I will conclude with the final name, HM3 Maxton Soviak. Master Sergeant Evander Andrews. Specialist John Edmonds. Private First Class Christopher, Christopher Stonecipher. Machinist Mate Fireman Apprentice Bryant Davis. Engineman First Class Vincent Parker. ET3 Benjamin Johnson.
