(KSL News) Three fallen Utah soldiers have been forever memorialized.
Today three life-size bronze busts of Sgt. Michael Lehmiller, Spc. Daniel Dolan and Cpl. Michael Purcell were unveiled at Weber State University. The three Utah servicemen were killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The busts were donated by Operation Never Forget, which started last year as a way to honor fallen soldiers.
G. Allen Howard, the operation program manager, said, "We built a statue of my younger brother and decided it was such a healing to our family that we wanted to pass it along to other [family] of fallen service members."
Howard's brother was killed in a helicopter crash in Iraq in 2004.
