I promised to update my post of a couple of days ago with the names of the troopers killed in Afghanistan….
Two Army Green Berets and an Air Force combat controller were killed Tuesday by an improvised explosive device in the eastern Afghan province of Ghazni.
The two Army Special Forces soldiers were Capt. Andrew Patrick Ross, 29, of Lexington, Virginia, and Sgt. 1st Class Eric Michael Emond, 39, of Brush Prairie, Washington. The two were assigned to 1st Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group, Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
We shall never forget their sacrifices. I can’t wait for some fat-bellied Liberal in a three-piece-suit stand on a podium at some memorial service and parrot that old lie again.
