Unfortunately, there was one US service member, Major Brent Taylor, of the Utah Army National Guard, killed in the Global War on Terror (GWOT) this past Saturday.  Major Taylor, who also served as Mayor of North Ogden, UT, was a 39 year-old military intelligence officer training the Afghan Commando Battalion.  He was shot and killed, and another soldier injured, during an insider attack by an Afghan Army traitor.  He is survived by his wife and 7 children ranging in age from 13 to 1 years old.
