The mission of which Mark Stets Jr. was part did not receive much publicity. He and other Americans were helping train Pakistanis in the country's Border Region as part of an effort to fight Taliban in neighboring Afghanistan and root out members of al-Quaeda who occupy the mountainous border. Frequently, Mark was in civilian clothes for a job that he described as "marketing to the enemy."

Stets deployed to Pakistan in November but in his short time there had made many friends, including a former dean at Bahria University in Islamabad, whom he had met at a U.S. Embassy function, his father said.

Stets spent Christmas with the former dean, who, after the soldier's death, held a memorial service that drew more than 60 people. Stets' favorite Pakistani rock band, Qayaas, dedicated a performance to his memory the next night, his father said.

With his wife, Nina Stets, he had three daughters, ages 14, 18 and 21.
