Funeral salutes Hawaii soldier killed in Afghanistan | The Honolulu Advertiser
"The remote outpost Brostrom was at in Wanat, Afghanistan, was occupied by about 45 U.S. soldiers and 25 Afghan troops. The base, which had been manned only days before with just Humvees and concertina wire providing a perimeter, was attacked by about 200 Taliban fighters with a withering fury of rocket-propelled grenades and small-arms fire."
