By Bruce Rolfsen
Staff writer
Senior Airman Ashton L. M. Goodman was 21 years old and in the Air Force for less than three years Lt. Col. Mark E. Stratton came up through the ranks as a navigator and left his Pentagon desk job for a year in Afghanistan.
On Tuesday, both died when a roadside bomb exploded as they drove in Afghanistan near Bagram Airfield.
A third person also died in the attack, but as of Wednesday afternoon had not been identified by the Pentagon.
Goodman, a vehicle operator dispatcher, was assigned to the Panjshir Provincial Reconstruction Team and deployed from the 43rd Logistics Readiness Squadron at Pope Air Force Base, N.C. She grew up in Indianapolis.
Stratton, 39, commanded the PRT. He was deployed from the Joint Staff’s plans and program office at the Pentagon, an Air Force spokesman said.

Prayers & Condolences For:
Mark E. Stratton II
BY Anonymous on Jun 18, 2009 | |  | I had the honor to work with Lt Col Stratton when I was just and E3 and he was an O3 on deployments in support of the Cobra Ball missions. He was always very kind to me and he was someone I looked up to. When I was going up for Senior Airman Below the Zone, he took the the to write a letter of recomendation for me. My husband Michael London was part of the Cobra Ball aircrew as well and is now workng as a contractor at Bagram and that is how I found out about this. I will always remember him and the ultimate sacrifice he made for our country. He is truly a hero that I will never forget. ~ Heather London, Colorado Springs, Colorado
