Fort Carson held a memorial service for three servicemen killed in Afghanistan. Air Force Maj. Walter D. Gray, Army Maj. Thomas E. Kennedy and Army Sgt. Maj. Kevin J. Griffin were honored Thursday at the infantry post outside Colorado Springs. They were killed Aug. 8 when insurgents detonated suicide vests. Griffin, from Laramie, was assigned to the 4th Brigade Combat Team, part of the 4th Infantry Division at Fort Carson. He competed on the Riverton High School wrestling team and won a state championship.
