Taylor’s comrades visit Berne

Berne Tri-Weekly News:

Comrades of local young man, Nick Taylor, whose life was tragically taken during an insurgent attack in Afghanistan on July 16, paid a visit to Taylor’s parents on Monday afternoon.

Patrick Bogacz of Griffith and Kyle Leonard, of Valparaiso, visited the home of Tim and Stephania Taylor. In the evening, there was a public reception for the young men at Swiss Village.

Both men were on the same mission with Taylor when his platoon was fired on with rocket-propelled grenades and small arms while clearing bombs in Kandahar Province. Another Indiana man, Sergio Perez, of near Crown Point, was also killed in the incident. Both Taylor and Perez were members of the Valparaiso-based 713th Engineer Company.
