The word “remembrance” is written on a cross within the wreath laid during a ceremony in honor of the loss and sacrifice of the Battle of Troina in World War Two in Troina, Sicily, Italy, August 2, 2015. Marines and sailors with Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response-Africa, Detachment A, participated in the town’s ceremonial events remembering the shared history and sacrifice of the two countries who faced a harsh Nazi resistance during the battle.
