G!NG3R420 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 FORT DRUM — Liberty Hope Steele, 1, stood and called out, “Dada,” in front of an enlarged photograph of her father, 1st Lt. Timothy J. Steele, who was killed in Afghanistan. The photo portrayed one of seven men who were killed in action while serving in Kandahar province. On Thursday, hundreds of family members, friends and soldiers gathered at Fort Drum’s chapel to honor their loved ones and comrades in arms. The lives of Lt. Steele, Sgt. Edward J. Frank II, Sgt. Jameel T. Freeman, Spc. Patrick L. Lay II, Spc. Jordan M. Morris, Pfc. Reuben J. Lopez and Spc. Mark J. Downer were remembered by those who trained with and fought next to them. “There is a saying that a soldier is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check to be made payable to the country for an amount up to and including their life,” said Pvt. Ryan Olsta, 1st Battalion, 32nd Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team.
