Boy I didn't know the General's son died in Iraq. Boy he is totally unasailable by the media when it comes to credibility. What a great man! 8)

I was corrected on another thread about the Vallely's son Scott. Scott died while attending the Special Forces Qualification Course, not in Iraq.

Scott Vallely

This memorial fund was established in April 2004 to honor and memorialize PFC Scott Paul Vallely. Scott died on April 20, 2004 while in his fourth week of Special Forces training. He was 29 years old and had just completed Infantry Basic and Advance Courses at Fort Benning, Georgia as well as Airborne School to qualify to attend the Special Forces School at Fort Bragg, NC.

He entered the service in October 2003. His desire was to serve his country and make a contribution to the Global War on Terror to preserve the freedom of the American people and the free world. His goal was to be an elite member of a Special Forces A Team.
