Sgt. Nicholas M. Dickhut, 23, of Rochester, Minn., died April 30 in Zharay, Afghanistan, from wounds sustained when enemy forces attacked his unit with small arms fire. He was assigned to the 5th Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash. "Sgt. Dickhut was not only incredibly talented as a forward observer, he possessed great maturity and intelligence. His positive attitude and eagerness to share lessons learned made him an invaluable member of our company," said Capt. Lawrence Csaszar, in a statement released by the Army. On October 28, 2011 he married Aliesha Glidden in Rochester. He met Aliesha at the young age of 14 and they had been good friends before and during their marriage. She survives.
