A funeral service for Sgt. Cruttenden will be held at 2 p.m. on Wednesday at the Hotchkiss Community United Methodist Church in Hotchkiss.
A funeral for Spc. Kridlo will be held Wednesday at St. John Evangelist Church in Pittstown, Penn. Spc. Kridlo's wife and daughters live in Ft. Collins, where the girls also attend school.
