This American soldier was killed during recent combat operations to free hostages from an ISIS controlled prison in Iraq. He had been deployed 17 times as a special forces operator and been decorated with 40 service medals. He was a a resident of Roland, Oklahoma just across the border from Northwest Arkansas. This guy was the real deal. R.I.P. sir, your service is appreciated and you will not be forgotten.
