Kisling Jr., 31 years old from Neosho, Missouri SSgt. Gregory M. Frampton, 37 years old from Fresno, California 1st Battalion, 160th Special Operations Aviation Regimen January 30, 2003 "They succeeded where lesser men failed," said Chaplain Robert Glazener. "They proved themselves in ways that men out there who never served, never volunteered, never sacrificed, would never understand. They sought neither glory nor special recognition, but they gained both by their actions. They are the true American heroes today and deserve more honor than we can humbly bestow on them." The helicopter carrying the men went down seven miles east of the Bagram Air Base while on a training mission. These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero. We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived This post is part of the Wednesday Hero Blogroll.
