I just received this notice in an email from our AG. Rest in peace SFC Woods.

All Soldiers, Airmen and civilians:
It is with deep sadness that I share with you today the passing of one of our own. SFC William B. Woods Jr., 31, of Chesapeake, Va., passed away on Aug. 16 at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Landstuhl, Germany, of wounds suffered on Aug. 14 while on patrol in Ghanzi, Afghanistan. He was assigned to our B Company, 2nd Battalion, 20th Special Forces in Glen Arm, Md.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Woods family at this most tragic time. Be assured that we in the Maryland National Guard family will do all we can to comfort and support Brian's family - now and in the future.
We can all take great pride in SFC Woods - as a Soldier, colleague and friend. He epitomized all that is great about our state, nation and the NCO corps. Please keep the Woods family in your thoughts and prayers.
