FORT MEADE, Md. -- July 2, 2013, was the very last moment of Army Spc. Hilda Clayton's life. She took a photo in the split-second between when a mortar tube accidentally exploded and the blast killed her and four Afghan soldiers.
Spc. Shenee Brooks was in the same unit as Clayton.
We asked her if it's hard remembering that day and if in a way Clayton left a memorial.
"Yes sir," Brooks said. "She died doing what she loved."
Two photos taken by Clayton and an Afghan photojournalist remained private for nearly four years, but have now been published in an Army journal with her family's permission.
