On May 28, a ceremony took place
on the grounds
of the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans
Affairs. The Global War on Terrorism Memorial honored
four members of Battery B, 3rd Battalion, 112th Field
Artillery who were killed in action in Iraq in June 2004:
Staff Sgt. Frank Carvill of Carlstadt; Staff Sgt. Umberto
Timoteo of Newark; Sgt. Ryan Doltz of Mine Hill; and
Spc. Christopher Duffy of Brick. Maj. Gen. Glenn K. Rieth, The Adjutant General of
New Jersey stated, “It is most fitting and appropriate
that we all come together to honor the service, sacrifice,
and the sacred memories of these four brave soldiers
on this, the first official observance of Memorial Day
since their loss.” Photo by Tech. Sgt. Mark Olsen,
