I don't normally do this, but what I am about to tell all of you is very important. We hear soldiers being killed left and right all the time in the news, but what we don't always hear is the truth. The truth to why theses soldiers are all TRULY heros. I hope that we all know why anyways and don't need the media to refer to because have the time the news can't ever really get anything straight. My friend is a soldier in Iraq and he lost a very good friend and brother just recently in what the media so called it as being a "small attack".

Heres the article that he sent to me, now I'm not sure where the artical came from I just know that they were all wrong in explaining the time of the attack and most of all his friend's bravery as a being a true soldier.

Two other men died Friday. Pfc. Harrison J. Meyer, 20, of Worthington, Ohio, and Pvt. Brian K. Grant, 31, of Dallas, died in separate small arms attacks, a Pentagon spokeswoman said.

All four men were with the 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, according to the U.S. Department of Defense. So far, 25 Strike Force soldiers have died since being deployed to Iraq this summer.

On Tuesday, officials acknowledged November’s death toll made it one of the two deadliest months since the U.S. attack began in March 2003, with at least 135 servicemembers killed, the Associated Press reported. In April, 135 troops died as insurgents fought for control of Fallujah, a city about 30 miles east of Baghdad.

Troops spent much of November trying to take back Fallujah, hunting for insurgents in a block-by-block and building-by-building sweep of the city. Many of those insurgents already had fled to Ramadi, a city 50 miles west of Baghdad, where military leaders have turned their attention in recent days.

Now that you read the artical this is the TRUTH to what all really went on according to my friend who was there at the time of it all....


He died in Al Rahmadi saving his saw gunners, when he got shot and they pulled him to a safe place to be treated but when they did my saw gunner was shot in the feet and he got up (w/ a bullet in his leg)and even though he was shot he went out to save him and when he did, he was shot 3 times in the plates and all at the time when he kept working on other guys and then he got hit in the neck from behind.

He lived like a hero and they don't even give that to him which is why I'm helping my friend out by letting the whole world know how much of a hero he really was. He wanted to someday to become a pediatric, because he loved kids and to do nothing more than to help others. He always thought of the other person, that other soldier, before ever thinking of himself. He was the kind of guy who had a lot of guts and was willing to do anything for that other person even if it involved putting his life on the line, in which that is what makes him a hero and he deserves all the respect and honor he can recieve.

So this why I am sending this out to you today, not to just bash the media for its wrongfully mistakes because they can be right when they want to be, but to just help a friend out who wants people to know thats hes not just considered a hero for being a soldier, but for putting his life on the line for others in which he so bravely did.

***So please all I'm asking is for you to spread the truth every time you hear Pfc. Harrison J. Meyer's story, but to most of all pray for him, his family and to continue to pray for all the other troops that are still over there fighting, that they make it home safe where they belong***
