Nov-20-2008 » Filed Under: 1/25 SBCT

A local paper has an update on SSG Ralph Franklin Frankie Steward Jr., a 1/25 SBCT soldier who was seriously injured earlier this month. Our thoughts are with him and his entire family.

A Highland County soldier sustained life-threatening injuries while serving in Iraq, family members of the soldier told The Times-Gazette in Hillsboro Tuesday.

Army Staff Sgt. Ralph Franklin “Frankie” Steward Jr., 37, lost his right leg from the knee down, injured his left leg, shattered bones in both arms and suffered a bruised lung and damage to his right eye, according to his aunt, Carolyn Goins. [...]

She said Steward, a Hillsboro High School graduate, is now in good condition. He is surrounded by his wife Amy Steward, his parents Ralph and Jennifer Steward and his brother Michael Steward.
