Honoring a soldier

This story from Madison should remind us that saying "we support the troops" is as empty as "end the war now."

22-year old Joshua Brennan was killed Friday after being shot in the chest. His farther, Michael says,

"I learned that Josh was killed after their unit was ambushed. He initially was shot and the Taliban were trying to take him away. A brave medic stood up and threw hand grenades at the Taliban to keep them from taking Josh and the medic was killed in the process. Josh later died of his wounds.

"As I said in my interview Josh has always felt like he and the guys over there have been forgotten. I want to give him a hero's welcome home that he so deserves and make sure that he is never forgotten."

Watch the video. We can never forget our troops, or the sacrifices they are making. In our moments of forgetting, they are fighting, ambushed, fired upon, dying... they can not feel forgotten.
