Wesley Misenhimer, the Headquarters and Service Company first sergeant for 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment from Castro Valley, Calif., calls off the names of Marines killed during combat operations in Garmsir district during a remembrance service at the FOB Delhi Memorial here, Nov. 11. Afghan National Security Forces joined Marines and British forces to honor the fallen during the service, which commemorated Veterans Day and the British Remembrance Day. Since 2006, coalition forces have fought to bring security and stability to the once insurgent-heavy Garmsir district. Forty Marines and 15 British forces have been killed here since then. In the last year and a half, twelve ANSF have been killed here. Five years later, coalition forces are near transitioning control of the district to the local government.
