hero of the month; october

i haven't done this for sometime, but a recent turn of events has inspired me to pick it back up.

these two soldiers and marine are all from the wichita, kansas area.

SGT. JUSTIN OFFICER of the 101st Airborne Division died 29 september 2010 in afghanistan from wounds received during an IED attack.




SPC. THOMAS MOFFITT of the 101st Airborne Division died 24 october 2010 in afghanistan from wounds received when his unit was engaged by insurgents employing small arms and RPGs.




MARINE SGT. JONATHAN BLANK was critically wounded on 26 october 2010 in afghanistan which resulted in the loss of both legs. JONATHAN was en route back to the states, but his condition has deteriorated and he is currently in a hospital in the U.K. until he improves.
