One stage this year will honor MAJ Paul R. Syverson III, who was killed June 16, 2004 during Operation Iraqi Freedom in Balad, Iraq. FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. — When CIA agent Johnny “Mike” Spann was killed in an Afghanistan prison uprising, Maj. Paul R. Syverson III was one of the Special Forces commandos sent in to retrieve his body and curtail the intense fighting. It was Syverson’s death that family members and comrades mourned Tuesday during a memorial service. The decorated officer was killed two weeks into his third tour of duty in Iraq — a tour he volunteered to do despite having a newborn daughter. Syverson, 32, of Lake Zurich, Ill., was killed June 16 while standing outside the PX at a U.S. base north of Baghdad where he stopped to buy equipment for fellow soldiers from the 5th Special Forces Group, based at Fort Campbell, Ky. Insurgents killed him and another soldier in what was described as either a mortar or rocket attack at Camp Anaconda, in Balad, Iraq. “It is a great loss to our organization that someone the quality of Maj. Syverson is gone,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Haas, outside the memorial chapel following the service. “We will take care of his family.” He is survived by his wife, Jackie, his son, Paul, 7, and daughter Amy, 2 months. During the ceremony, Maj. Scott Brower recalled Syverson being among the “legendary” 5th Group soldiers who responded during the November 2001 prison uprising at the fortress of Qala-i-Janghi in Mazer-e-Sharif, Afghanistan. Spann was the first American killed in Afghanistan after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. John Walker Lindh, the American serving a 20-year sentence for helping the Taliban, was first discovered in the prison. “They did regain control of that fortress, receive Mike Spann’s body to be brought home to his family, as well as capture Johnny Walker Lindh in one of the fiercest battles in our past,” Brower said. Syverson, however, was one of five soldiers injured in the uprising by a misguided U.S. bomb. He had severe back injuries and earned a Purple Heart for his wounds. He also received a Bronze Star for his actions in Afghanistan. Despite ongoing pain, he did not complain. He was known for his leadership skills and was well-liked. When he was a company commander, “his soldiers would stop what they were doing just to speak with him or be near him if only for a few moments,” Haas said. Syverson was scheduled to return home from Iraq a week after his death to attend school at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He volunteered to go to Iraq a third time to set up for other soldiers to soon follow. “He chose to volunteer one more time to help out this organization and not ask another soldier to go in his place,” Haas said. “That really sums up what a fantastic, outstanding soldier and officer he was.” Mourners at the memorial service dabbed their eyes with tissue as the song “Amazing Grace” was played on bagpipes. During a customary roll call, Maj. Syverson’s name was called out three times to silence. Syverson is the 62nd soldier from Fort Campbell to die in the Iraq war. Three others were from the 5th Group. The rest were from the 101st Airborne Division. Two additional Bronze Stars and another Purple Heart are to be issued to Syverson posthumously. “Paul Syverson was a patriot who loved his family and his country,” Brower said. “Paul Syverson was our friend. Paul Syverson was an American hero,” Brower said. — Associated Press

The grip is the full size grip.

According to AI The SIG Sauer M400 DH3 rifle is not anodized. Instead, it has a Cerakote Elite Titanium finish. I suspect it is aluminum as I just tried a magnet against it and it didn't stick.

Is that plain adulterated, aluminum, or is that some kind of anodized coating on it?

Hello HailDarkAle, Like Red said, I am only about 30 minutes away from you. I sent you a PM that you can reply to. Thanks for the help Red!!!!

Do u have a full size grip?

This is of course dramatically cheaper if you guys account for tax and shipping. At least $800. Total savings of about $1500....

Great condition M17 Commerical version. I had it mounted in a Flux Defense Chassis but I moved a different variant into it. This comes with one 17 round magazine and one 21 round magazine. Not sure what happened to the original grip, so I put it in a full-rail x-carry grip. I have a standard rail x-carry grip in black I can throw in if you want it (free). Asking $450

got me too
