South Carolina Army National Guard, 742nd Support

South Carolina Army National Guard, 742nd Support Maintenance Company (SMC), stands alongside Colombian soldiers during a time of remembrance for 9/11 on Baman Maintenance Base, Colombia, Sept. 11, 2013. The 742nd is in Colombia working with the Colombian army maintenance personnel during a three-week trip in support of the state partnership between the South Carolina National Guard and the Colombian military. “The ceremony was very touching,” said Capt. Justin Montgomery, commander of the 742nd SMC. “We are all very honored and speechless by the sentiment presented by the Colombians.” Sgt. Daniel Garcia-Benedetti, small arms repair and translator for the 742nd SMC, translated for the priest who said, "Our countries have lived though similar experiences and now we are two armies working together with one common goal: to fight terrorism. As soldiers, we are proud to do what we do." (U.S. Army National Guard Photo by 742nd SMC Staff Sgt. Tracci Dorgan/ Released)
