Today's #NeverForgottenFriday Commemoration
Since we've postponed our weekly Pre-Pledge Tributes during schools' summer break; and subsequently the 'Fallen Patriots to Honor' section of those tributes ... We plan to commemorate them on Fridays this summer.
Unfortunately, there was 1 military casualty in a Global War on Terror combat zone this week. US Army Sergeant Major (SGT MAJ) / Green Beret James "Ryan" Sartor, 40, of Teague, Texas, was killed by small arms fire while conducting a combat operation on Saturday, July 13, in Afghanistan's Faryab Province. SGT MAJ Sartor was serving with the 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne) out of Fort Carson, CO.
