Arctic Wolves Remember Fallen Brothers | Anchorage News
Description
Twenty years after their harrowing deployment in Iraq, the Arctic Wolves of the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team reunited at Fort Wainwright to honor the 36 fallen soldiers who never made it home. Amid solemn speeches, a memorial wall, and a heartfelt dinner, veterans reflected on their 16-month tour through Mosul and Baghdad — a mission that cost nearly 400 casualties. Gold Star families were present as the unit’s enduring brotherhood, forged in fire, was reaffirmed. Though the brigade is now part of the 11th Airborne Division, its legacy lives on — including the continued awarding of Purple Hearts and the motto “The strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack,” still echoing through the ranks.
