My brother stood atop his Humvee, securing the perimeter in front of a suspect building in Baghdad. But as soldiers entered the building, it exploded; the official cause is still not known. Sherwood was struck by debris in the back of his head and neck, and he was killed.

As a Special Forces Soldier in OEF I can tell you your brother died doing his duty. His country called him and he voluntarily went. Our country would be nothing without men like your brother. He died a hero.

Our country would be nothing without men like your brother. He died a hero.

Amen.

I believe the brother discussed in this article was the brother of Dante Zappala, the author of the The Los Angeles Times commentary ... not the brother of poster "Dusty Rhodes".

Your brother is indeed a hero and he would be ashamed of you......think about it! Bye, bye!
