Comments For "Stryker soldier dies in non-hostile action":

Thanks for your information as I have a grandson that also was on the move and all I could think of it was him. I don't want to see anyone become a casualty and may his soul rest in peace as for the young man that got burnt a speedy recovery.

My nephew Staff Sgt. Jed B with Ft. Lewis Stryker Brigade was seriously injured, on 5/29. He was airlifted to Baghdad to stabilize. Keep him and his unit in your prayers.

My heartfelt prayers for all the soldiers injured and their families... also for those that have paid the ultimate price. They are all heros in my eyes... May God be with them all.

I TOO HAVE A SON OVER THERE AND PRAY EVERY DAY THAT HE AND ALL THE OTHER BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN COME HOME SOON AND SAFETLY. MY HEART BREAKS EVERY TIME I HEAR OF ONE OF OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS THAT GET HURT OR DIE THERE.

These soldiers are in my thoughts and prayers.
