Bertrand, who graduated from Marshfield High School in 1997, was the youngest of three children. He played basketball and football at Marshfield and earned all-state honors as an outside linebacker. Bertrand cut short his football career at a California junior college to join the military.

The communication and navigation system technician was one of two marines that died Jan. 20, 2002, when their CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter crashed shortly after takeoff from a former Soviet base outside Kabul during re-supply mission. Five others aboard were injured. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said the cause of the crash appeared to be mechanical failure. The Super Stallions are designed for the transport of troops, supplies and equipment. Since the 30-passenger, long-range Super Stallion came into service in 1981, there have been seven major crashes and 20 deaths.
Cohee had been scheduled to come home in early January, according to his mother, but he was needed to stay to work on the helicopters. Jeanne Cohee said her son wasn't the kind to complain. "He said, 'Mom, I didn't join the Marines to sit still. I joined the Marines to help,"' Cohee told WBOC-TV.

The Green Beret communications specialist became the first U.S. military casualty from hostile fire in Afghanistan, apparently killed by small-arms fire in an ambush near the eastern city of Khost on Jan. 4, 2002. Chapman and a CIA officer met with local tribal leaders in Afghanistan's Paktia province, near where U.S. warplanes struck al-Qaida and Taliban targets for several weeks. The Americans were ambushed after the meeting, and exchanged fire with their assailants, U.S. officials said. Chapman was born on April 23, 1970, at Andrews Air Force Base, Md. He joined the Army after his 1988 graduation from high school in Centerville, Ohio. Chapman served most of his 12-year military career at Fort Lewis with the First Special Forces Group. But, since the war in Afghanistan began, he had been assigned to the 5th Special Forces Group at Fort Campbell, Ky. His parents said he parachuted into Panama during the U.S. invasion of that country and served in Desert Storm and Haiti. He attended Special Forces school at Fort Bragg.

Several other soldiers were injured during the series of six blasts next to Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar's former compound in an area where large caliber rockets confiscated from former Taliban ammunition dumps are normally destroyed in controlled detonations.
Craig joined the Army in 1993, weeks after he graduated from Klein Forest High School. A straight-A student with college potential, he wanted to join the Army first. Known for his love of adventure and hobbies such as white-water rafting, Craig first enlisted as a paratrooper. After four years of jumping out of airplanes, he decided he was ready for something else. During his nearly nine years of service, Craig served four years in Anchorage, Alaska, before being stationed in San Diego. Last year, he spent several months in Bosnia.
While serving in Afghanistan, Craig would call his family at least once a week, and sometimes more often if there were reports of American casualties. His parents had planned to meet him in San Diego when he returned from Afghanistan, but Craig wanted to surprise them by showing up on their Houston doorstep. Craig had been talking to his sister about keeping his parents from finding out when his battalion would arrive in San Diego so they wouldn't go there to meet him.
