I want to thank you for posting this. Mr. Myers was the first and I pray the last from Saint Joseph, Missouri to lose his life in Iraq. I have a link to the St. Joseph News-Press (local paper)article that told about his death. When someone from home dies it seems to bring the war a little closer.
God Bless America, God Save The Republic
