I do think the community should honor both of these heroes. Do you have any ideas about how to achieve that? Maybe name the new library after the other solider? Perhaps we could work together to start a movement of recognizing our heroes with these kinds of gestures. Thanks for the comment.

Sadly THEY are being ignored, by everyone, but most especially the school district. The movement is to honor ALL of the soldier’s who have died. The soldier who they are honoring wasn’t the only one to die in Iraq. There was another young hero who also died (the first one from the area, in fact), and his family is sad that there son is being COMPLETELY ignored - all because he left school early to enlist. Why can’t both young heroes be honored equally? Why should one young man who died for our country be ignored, and the other one praised? They were both equally decorated by the military. We should honor both of them equally. I, for one, support Spc. Matthew Troy Morris - KIA Balad, Iraq 4-6-08, and would like to honor him as well. He died, too. We shouldn’t ignore him or his family, and shame on anyone who thinks he ought to be forgotten.
