In salute to heroes, living and dead...

***Bumped***

A soldier from my son's platoon was murdered in a roadside bomb attack by Islamic savages.

Our son, Doug, was around 50 yards behind the vehicle that was hit by the IED placed by Islamic savages, that took the life of Sgt. Greg Ninerd Riewer, 28 of Frazee, MN.


He (Doug) was first upon the scene to render aid, and saved the life of one of the wounded soldiers via a quickly-placed tourniquet.

A father's tribute to Sgt. Riewer can be found here.


Rest in peace, Sgt. Riewer...

May the LORD raise you up on Eagle's wings, to your everlasting reward.
