Afghanistan attack: Who were the victims?
Vorderbruggen, a 36-year-old from Minnesota, was among the victims of the attack, which took place at Bagram Air Base in eastern Afghanistan.

And Air Force Sgt. Peter Taub, son of Washington area restaurateurs, is believed to have died in the strike, as well.
“He will have a child that he will never see now”, Wagner told the Washington Post.
He was assigned to the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, Detachment 405, Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama. John Vela, now an Air Force staff sergeant based in Anchorage, Alaska, was on the football team with Cinco and they were in band together. He said they learned his actual location when military officials notified them he’d been killed.
“He was a really good family man, loved his wife, loved his (3-year-old) daughter”, Taub said.
Vorderbruggen served with the Air Force’s Office of Special Investigations after graduating in 2002 and was an expert in crime scene forensics.
A friend of Vorderbruggen and her family told the Daily Beast that the Air Force was treating her wife and family “wonderfully”, a remarkable transformation for a force that once reluctantly embraced her as military spouse. He said, “Whatever goal she had, she found a way”.
Joseph Lemm was a 15-year New York Police Department veteran who was promoted to detective in January 2014, serving in the Bronx warrant squad, according to a statement from Police Commissioner Bill Bratton.
While Vorderbruggen was not the first out troop ever to be killed, she appears to have been the first to die since the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.
The coalition said Vorderbruggen and her family were part of the group almost from its start in 2010.
