"when publishing a story that brings attention and honor to our fallen soldiers, please proofread your headlines and find an editor who can spell."..... KK, I couldn't agree more! However, the real issue is the fallen soldier and the broken-hearted family. My deepest condolences.

Sympathy and prayer go out to the family in times like this. Out of respect for the family, when publishing a story that brings attention and honor to our fallen soldiers, please proofread your headlines and find an editor who can spell. Thank you.
