During dry-fire practice, U.S. Army Pfc. Cotey A. Knudsen, a cannon crewmember from Jacksonville, Fla., assigned to B Battery, 3rd Battalion, 7th Field Artillery Regiment, Task Force Bronco, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, sights in on a target with an M1198 Howitzer at Combat Outpost Monti in eastern Afghanistan's Kunar province, May 5. Knudsen's father was in the U.S. Navy for more than 20 years and was a large reason why he joined the military out of high school.
