WO1 Joseph L. Schiro & SGT Justin C. Marquez
Lost two more over the weekend in Afghanistan.

SGT Marquez was a friend of our family, and his mother was our kids' librarian in elementary school.

RIP Chief and Justin.

Thank you for your service, and your sacrifice.

You will not be forgoten.

See you on the other side, brothers.

A soldier from Moore County was one of two Special Forces warriors killed this weekend while on patrol in the Chak district of Wardak Province, Afghanistan. The Department of Defense announced their loss in a Sunday press release.

Sgt. Justin C. Marquez, 25, of Aberdeen and another soldier were shot while “on dismounted patrol” the Department of Defense said. They died from wounds received from small-arms fire on Saturday, the Army said.

Also killed was Warrant Officer Joseph L. Schiro, 27, of Coral Springs, Fla. Both Marquez and Shiro were assigned to the 1st Special Forces Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne), out of Fort Bragg.

Marquez was deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. This was his first deployment in support of overseas contingency operations. The Army said he enlisted in the Army in January 2009 and completed his initial Infantry and Airborne training in June of that year. He was then stationed at Fort Bragg and attended Special Forces Assessment and Selection.

In February 2011 Marquez graduated from the Special Forces Qualification Course and was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group (A). His military education included U.S. Army Airborne School, the Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape (SERE) School, the Advanced Leaders Course, and the Special Forces Qualification Course.

His military awards and decorations include the Army Achievement Medal, the Army Good Conduct Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Global War on Terror Medal, the Parachutist Badge and the Special Forces Tab.

Marquez is survived by his father, mother and brother, the Army said.
