Delta Force Soldier made a Mark on History

From an early age, Master Sgt. Robert Horrigan displayed qualities that would lead to him become one of America’s most respected battlefield warriors.

“He would give you the shirt off his back,” the soldier’s twin said. “Robert would do anything for anybody. If he had a dollar in his pocket and you needed it, he’d give it to you.”

Dollars were sometimes hard to come by, as the Horrigan family endured financial struggles during parts of Robert and John’s boyhood.

Even though John had long since retired from military service by Sept. 11, 2001, he could see the impact the terrorist attacks had on his brother, who had earned a coveted spot on the Army’s elite Delta Force.

“I know it affected him a lot, especially with the unit he was with,” the soldier’s brother said. “He went down and got the U.S. flag tattooed” on his chest. The rest of story here.

If our political leaders had just a smidgen of the courage, integrity, goodness and bravery of a man like Master Sgt. Robert Horrigan what a country this would be.
