35 years later, PWED remembers fallen 14th QM Detachment

FORT LEE, Va. – Thirty-five years ago on Feb. 19, 1991, the 14th Quartermaster Detachment, a U.S. Army Reserves water purification unit, arrived in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia to support Operation Desert Storm. Little did they know that their lives would be forever changed in an instant at 8:40 p.m. (12:40 p.m. EST) on Feb. 25, 1991, when an Iraqi Al Hussein ballistic missile breached the Patriot defenses and hit their barracks.
