This victim was kind enough, as a favor to my son (also can't say what he does but he is civilian), to fly an American flag over a forward secret base in northern Iraq on 9/11/11 so I could received it, with a certificate from the command of operation Iraqi Freedom, as a Christmas present. This is the character of our men and women in uniform. What a total waste, he leaves behind a young wife and 3 young kids. So to all those that so vehemently despise Bush and "his war", DO NOT conflate the politics of a war with the honor, integrity, valor and sacrifice of those that serve
