CONWAY, Ark. -- A soldier shot and killed at a military recruiting office in Arkansas last week was laid to rest Monday, though what his headstone will eventually read is still unknown.
Pvt. William Andrew Long's family must still decide whether his tombstone lists him as the first soldier to die at the hands of a terrorist since Sept. 11, 2001.
Police say Long was shot and killed June 1 by Abdulhakim Muhammad, 23, a Muslim convert, at a recruiting center at a suburban Little Rock strip mall. Muhammad, who also allegedly injured another Army private, targeted soldiers "because of what they had done to Muslims in the past," authorities said.
Daris Long, the dead private's father, has said he believed his son was a casualty of war. Federal prosecutors are deciding whether to press terrorism charges against his killer.

Regardless, rest in peace young man. We hardly knew you but know of the honor, traditions and meanings you carried so well. God bless your family.
I am still outraged at that vile woman who came to harass the FReepers remembering him.
God Bless and Keep him.
and has Obama said a word about this terror attack?
How do you think the Muzzie-in-chief will handle this? Silence?
Line Of Duty: YES
Combat Related: YES
RIP
I think you meant that it is “politically incorrect” for the media to cover this heinous act because:
a) This murder was VERY incorrect to any decent person. And the demented MSM would think it was “incorrect” to cover it because it doesn’t fit in their meme.
b) Hardly “unpolitical.” The lack of coverage was VERY political by the MSM because they are generally anti-military. God forbid if anybody should be sympathetic with members of the military unless said individuals are victims of government oppression.
Just my two cents.
What happened?
God be with this soldier, his family and friends.
