    Marines with India Battery, 1st Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 2, gather at Firebase Fiddler’s Green, Aug. 30, to honor their fallen brother, Sgt. Ronald A. Rodriguez. Rodriguez was killed in action, Aug. 23, at the age of 26.
    “At a time like this, no eloquence of words can describe our loss and no amounts of sadness or emotion can adequately express our sorrow,” said Lt. Col. Adolfo Garcia, commanding officer for 1st Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment “We can only sadly, yet proudly, say that we have had the opportunity to know, to have worked with and to have served with this fine Marine.”
