Amanda Pinson knew soldiers were dying in Iraq when she decided to join the Army in 2003, but she wasn't going to let that stop her.
"She believed what she was doing was preventing another 9/11," her father, Tony Pinson, said Friday after learning his daughter had been killed in Iraq on Thursday. "She's a hero."

Regina Pinson, her stepmother, remembers watching coverage of Cindy Sheehan's protests against the war with her stepdaughter.
"Please don't do something like that if something happens to me," she remembers Amanda Pinson saying. "This is what I want to do."

I HATE excepting, but they made me. This is a free site though, and it's worth the click.

"She loved being in the Army and she loved doing her job," said Ehlen, of south St. Louis County. "She felt like her work saved American lives. That's what she did."There's not much to say in response to a story like this. SPC Pinson sounds like a great soldier.
I've been to four wartime funerals since 9/11/2001. If any freepers haven't been to one, think about it. Every one has been very moving, each in its own way.

Oh my! I have posted the story on the PGR website. If there's any chance the moonbats will be there I'll make sure you know. I'm sorry -- please give them my most sincere condolences.
