Their Story
Remembering Devin Snyder.
SGT Devin Snyder was the only female to be killed during Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. She was a part of a Military Police Battalion assigned to train Afghan National Police in peacekeeping duties in order to prevent the return of the Taliban and other Islamic Fundamentalist groups.
She and 4 others were killed on June 4, 2011. The shockwave from that blast traveled outward at every angle, tearing through the military and sending a wave of grief through the small town of Cohocton where Devin grew up. Devin's legacy is lived on through her younger brother SSG Damien Snyder who currently is still serving, his spouse SSG Angelique Snyder, her older sister Natasha Snyder, her mother Dineen Snyder, her father Edward Snyder, and her 3 Nephews (John, Devin, Teaghan) and 3 Nieces (Mackenzie, Kinsley, Korey)
