#1 Its been many months since the soldier was killed with the IED, and the subsequent call asking who would get the money for his death, and then his organs were harvested.

He laid down his life for us.. and continued to give in death... can't ask a Soldier or Marine for much more than that eh...

From Yon's report it seemed that some members of his family didn't care... but we do and salute you Soldier! RIP

#2 Thank you, Mike, for posting this, and my thanks to Mr. Yon for telling the story of yet another to whom we owe so much. May his memory be a blessing to those who loved him.

#3 Our nation needs to remember men like this for as long as there are citizens under the Stars and Stripes. Wars always seem to take the best from us, leaving us depleted just a small bit from what we could be. Remembering these heros, and honoring them as such, will go a long way toward bridging that gap.
