The Defense Department has released the names of North Carolina and Georgia-based soldiers killed in Afghanistan.

The Pentagon says the soldiers died Monday in Jalrez District, Afghanistan when they were attacked by small arms fire.

Twenty-eight-year-old Capt. Andrew M. Pedersen-Keel, of South Miami, Fla., was one of those killed. Pedersen-Keel was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group at Fort Bragg.

God bless Capt. Pedersen-Keel — and all our troops. Bring the noise.
