FRIENDSHIP, Wis. -- Last June 15th, the war in Afghanistan claimed the life of a Wisconsin soldier, 19-year-old Ryan Larson of Friendship.

Larson was stationed in the Kandahar province and was killed after insurgents attacked his unit with an improvised explosive device.

Larson was part of the 1st Battalion, 5th Infantry Regiment, 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, Fort Wainwright, AK.

FOX6's Photojournalist Jim Wilson traveled to Adams-Friendship last Veteran's Day, where there was a moving tribute to Larson.
