There was a fellow who lived on the edge of town, I drive past the house regularly. The flag is still at half-mast. He taught Tae Kwon Do in town. His daughter just graduated from High School, she was the County Fair Queen the summer before last. His son is in High School now. I didn't know him but I know a lot of poeple who did. He was a helicopter pilot who stayed with his craft and was credited with saving several lives for doing so. Cost him his own.

A 23 year old from a town about 20 miles from here was killed in action on the 21st of November. My sister-in-law taught High Scool there for a couple years but she didn't know this young man.
