Hey guys, I have another update. As you may know, Jason moved his Apache into the line of fire to save the other chopper in his formation, he was then hit in the cockpit most likely by an RPG. I have found out from a friend that has been in contact with Garth, Jason's dad, that he is to receive the
Bronze Star for his actions.
I didn't even realize you guys had posted on this thread, my thanks for your fine words and your sympathies. My God, this funeral is going to make me a wreck, but my feelings are nothing compared to what his family must be going through. Please continue to pray for them.

Jason's family will find some comfort in the awarding of the Bronze Star knowing that he gave his life for his brothers in arms. But the pain will still be deep and searing. Prayers for them and for you.

The least I could do for someone who went into harm's way to protect my family. Will keep the family--and you--in my prayers.
