Both soldiers were assigned to the 4th Combat Aviation Brigade, 4th Infantry Division at Fort Carson, Colorado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese gentlemen exemplified all the attributes we expect from our very best leaders. They were selfless, mission focused, and committed to their teammates,\u201d Col. Scott Gallaway, the brigade commander, said in the news release. \u201cOur heartfelt prayers and condolences go out to Clayton\u2019s and Kevin\u2019s families.
