This event is dedicated to SSG Marc Small, a native of Collegeville, Pennsylvania, who was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne), based in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. On February 12, 2009, SSG Small tragically lost his life in Faramuz, Afghanistan, when his unit came under enemy fire, including rocket-propelled grenades and small arms. He was just 29 years old. SSG Small is remembered by his parents, stepparents, and his fiancée, along with countless others impacted by his courage and sacrifice.
