A local young man was laid to rest today.   He took a bullet protecting another.

  3. So young and so sad. And why? because people in the middle east just don't seem to know how to play nice. RIP, thoughts and prayers to his family.

  4. Smythe has it right. The best the country has to offer go off to the wars. When we lose them, they don't come back and their talents are lost to the country.
