My heart and prayers go out to this soldier's family. As a soldier myself from his hometown currently serving in the Middle East, I'm extremely proud to say I'm from the same town as PFC Jones. He was a real hero and gave the ultimate sacrifice for every person worldwide desiring freedom. As the old saying goes "freedom is not free", most Americans will never relate to this phrase. However, PFC Jones and his family will know this all too well. I will say a prayer each night for his family and all of those serving our great country. I'm just sad I could not pay my respect in person.

Tink 23 - You need to move your conversation to another story or blog. Do not disrespect this soldier or his family with the negative comments. If not for true heroes like PFC Jones, you would not even have the opportunity to voice your opinions.

Tink 23 - You might want to do a little research before you go running off at the mouth. Stop disrespecting this soldier's memory and his dedication and sacrifice for his country.

Prayers going out to the family of this brave soldier. I hate to hear of a soldier losing his life, but when he's from my home town, it pulls harder at the heart strings.

♡ ♥RIP♥ ♡

Tink 23 - so you think we would be in Afghanistan if NOT for 9/11? because 9/11 came AFTER Daddy's term. Daddy's beef was with Iraq not Afghanistan. please get your baseless blinded 'innuendo' straight.

This young man gave his life for our country. I am indebted to him and all of our men and women in our armed forces. If not for them we would ALL be screwed.
