Two Patriotic Americans Lost

I posted a few weeks back an op-ed by seven U.S. soldiers stationed in Iraq entitled "The War As We Saw It." While they were writing the article and before it was published, one died in Iraq from a gunshot wound.

Yancy T. Gray and Omar Mora, two of the soldiers that lived to see their opinions published in the New York Times, were killed on Monday, September 10th, when their cargo truck overturned in Baghdad.

They were performing their duties even though they continued to morally and ethically disagreed with the government. My thoughts and prayers go out to their families. They should be remembered by all Americans for being the most patriotic Americans. They not only served their country by going to fight for us, they served their country by speaking up sharing the truth with those of us here at home.

May they rest in peace.
