Rest in Peace soldier!
FReepers, be sure to call your Congressmen, followed with an email/letter and demand the PURPLE HEART for PVT Long.
I hate to be the one who puts a turd in the punch bowl, but unless Private Long died in a combat action, it's going to be very hard to justify awarding him the Purple Heart. God Bless him and his family.
Wasn’t there another soldier wounded? He should also be eligible for the Purple Heart.
