Yesterday was the memorial service for Sgt. Ford. Sgt. Ford was a solder that was killed nearby on 24 July. See the posting below for 24 July. The Army does a very nice memorial and as you can see it was well attended. Ironically they did a photo story for Sgt. Ford using a song by Green Day. Green Day is very anti-war. Sgt. Ford was 20 years old, smoked a pack a day and his favorite movie was Space Balls. Sgt. Ford was from Nebraska and he had a friend here that knew him since 4th grade.
