Description
The bodies of three of the four soldiers who were operating in an armored vehicle that sank into a mud sinkhole in a bog in Lithuania have been recovered, the Secretary of the Army announced Monday.
"It is with profound sorrow that I share the heartbreaking news of the loss of three brave soldiers from the 1st Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division, who tragically lost their lives during a vehicle recovery mission in Lithuania," a statement by Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll said.
The 3rd Infantry Division is based out of Fort Stewart in Georgia. The fourth solider has not been found; the statement said, "We will not rest until the fourth and final soldier is found and brought home."
