SPC Fortunato
We just got our personal communication ban lifted that was placed for this man and 2 other of our comrades "giving it all". This man was an impressive individual. He served in B co as a gunner if I recall correctly (Over here at 1-26 the lines kind of blend between companies. Also I was serving in the BAS prior to deployment.) He was a very intelligent and outspoken person, never afraid to let you know what he thought. Last I talked to him I remember him saying how much he hated the thought of IEDs. We are all pretty much agreed on that one I'm sure. I mean it's the unseen danger.
Rest in Peace, Brother.
The two others that fell with him were:
Spc. Cory J. Bertrand, 18
Sgt. Preston R. Medley, 23

I have been on the Battlefield. I have had to look and work when others would only look away in sheer revulsion and fear. The sound of men crying in pain as if they are boys. I ignore the battle ensuing around me to save these Mens' lives. You think flying a flag makes you a patriot? No, no. Those MEN are the true patriots. The only kind of Patriot that really matters.
