Age 20
PFC Hodges was one of 2400 service members assigned to the Southwest Border Support Mission.
A soldier who died while deployed to the southwestern border of the U.S. has been identified as Pfc. Steven Hodges, 20, of Menifee, California. Hodges was found dead near Nogales, Arizona, on June 1, according to U.S. Northern Command.
Hodges enlisted in the Army in 2017 and had been assigned as a grenadier with the 1st Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment, 1-2 Stryker Brigade Combat Team. He had been at his last duty station since February 2018. He was under 2nd Infantry Division at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA.
Hodges' unit is at the border as part of "Task Force Red Lion," undertaking mobile surveillance as part of the Trump administration's deployment of more than 2,000 active-duty troops along the U.S.-Mexico border.
"Every soldier in the Tomahawk Battalion is an essential member of our team," his battalion commander Lt. Col. Sean Lyons said in a statement. "The loss of any soldier is deeply felt. Private First Class Steven Hodges is sorely missed by his teammates and the entire Tomahawk family. Every soldier is a national treasure."
Hodges' awards include the National Defense Service Medal and the Army Service Ribbon.

SECOND DIVISION PRAYER
Almighty God, father of every human soul, we pause to acknowledge that there is a Higher Power, and before whom we bow in gratitude and praise for the countless blessings which we enjoy, and for the knowledge that this world is not chaos and chance – but orderly and dependable.
We wish to offer thanks and gratitude for this, our Association; for the high ideals by which and through which it was created.
May our officers be granted Thy Blessings and guidance in promoting those actions which shall be a blessing to all mankind.
May we as members feel that we, too, are called to use our powers to aid and assist these worthy causes and that our daily lives may be an inspiration to others to give their best so that our beloved country shall continue to be a power for peace.
It is with gratitude that we remember those who have made our country and fashioned it to be a land of liberty and justice: May we always remember those men and women, and our comrades, who have in the name of patriotism, offered their blood that this liberty and justice should not perish from the earth.
Divinely guide us this day and in the days to come that we may be worthy of all the sacrifices that have been made for us.
Amen.
