This man died protecting his fellow soldier. No higher calling/honor in life. His wife had the best comments in the article.

tragic month for our armed forces, truly honorable and my prayers are with the many families.

24 deaths in Afghanistan just this past week. When you add the Coasties(7), the Cobra(2), and the T-34 (2) to the mix, last week sucked big time.

The good news is that there were no hostile incidents in Iraq last week (toward uniformed members). Some of the folks that we are using to "augment" the military is not having quite as much luck. Those guys don't make the news though.
