For brave men do indeed stand ready to fight and defend this great nation.
This picture was taken at my old 20-man outpost where I served with this great man in Afghanistan when we were both Corporals in 2007 and finally Sergeants in 2008. He was a tall, athletic, Native American from Colorado and was a true leader amongst his peers. He was the American success story of a troubled young man that made many mistakes in his youth, but once in the military excelled. He was the type of guy that you wished was your boss: not afraid to get his hands dirty with his men, stick up for his men, and discipline his men fairly. A year after we returned to the US, I was out and detailing car, and this Sergeant was sent back to Afghanistan for another year, returning just over a year ago. Nearly two and a half years spent in Afghanistan over 3.5 years, it turns out he settled down, got married, and had a son. In January, he was sent back to Afghanistan to serve out yet another year. This is the life of a United States Army Infantry Paratrooper.
When you put your children to sleep, kiss your wife, or lay your head on your pillow to get a needed night's rest, remember, even if only for a split second, that greater men than us stand ready to defend our great nation.
Staff Sergeant Jordan Bear was killed yesterday in Afghanistan.
