Received this forwarded email via members in my military community. Another buddy from my unit used to sky dive with him and said he was an All American kind of guy. It sounds like he lived up to everything America could expect from one of its warriors.

Thank you for a moving and excellent post !
Neil also left a wife (Patty) and an 18-month old son (Nathan). I believe Patty intends to move to Pennsylvania to be with her family (and as of this afternoon, Neil will also be in York, PA).
The LORD God of Israel bless and comfort all who mourn. May his children grow up like righteous trees to honor his memory.

Thanks for the post. I'm disappointed how little coverage the media gave to Roberts. Hope there will be a book and movie about this hero. Maybe more info about him could be posted here.
