00:10.440 --> 00:13.240
Yeah . For the first time in history a

00:13.240 --> 00:15.184
Torah scroll is being delivered to

00:15.184 --> 00:17.129
Kandahar airfield . The scroll was

00:17.129 --> 00:19.129
written in memory of fallen U . S .

00:19.129 --> 00:21.530
Service members . Two marines were both

00:21.530 --> 00:24.600
killed in Anbar province Iraq . It was

00:24.600 --> 00:27.770
a way that the community wanted to

00:27.770 --> 00:30.640
perpetuate their memory and what more

00:30.640 --> 00:34.000
fitting way than having a Torah which

00:34.000 --> 00:36.490
is perpetuates our traditions , our

00:36.490 --> 00:40.010
values and to tie and connect these two

00:40.010 --> 00:42.590
individuals so that when I read this

00:42.590 --> 00:44.646
Torah , I'm also thinking of them as

00:44.646 --> 00:46.812
well and that's pretty neat and that's

00:46.812 --> 00:48.757
pretty special and I think it's an

00:48.757 --> 00:50.812
honor VLT part of that . This scroll

00:50.812 --> 00:53.034
will be preserved and maintained by the

00:53.034 --> 00:55.257
chapel staff at Kandahar until it finds

00:55.257 --> 00:57.368
its next home . Army Sergeant Crystal

00:57.368 --> 00:58.660
Madrid's Kandahar Airfield again .
