EDIT: I've redone this post, since I think this quote from the first article is pretty important. A Bronze Star recipient dies in Afghanistan and few seem to have noticed. He died next to Costall, a Cdn soldier who also was killed. Says something, not sure what but it isn't very good.

Haven't posted anything here in a few days but things have been getting hot over in Afghanistan. Taliban fighers actually attacked a base last week, mostly getting killed but managing to kill a few soldiers in the meantime. There's an investigation of a US and a Canadian soldier being maybe killed by friendly fire. You've probably gotten tired of reports about Canucks, so here's something about the US soldier. Was a very interesting guy. U.S. medic died next to Canadian soldier U.S. medic, 52, followed his heart Slain same night as Pte. Rob Costall Apr. 7, 2006. 05:25 AM Toronto Star TIM HARPER WASHINGTON BUREAU TUNBRIDGE, Vt.—As a kid, the man they called "Stoney" would trek through the Vermont woods with his friends, a pocketful of rocks at the ready just in case some bad guys popped out of the Green Mountains. Even then, he was looking out for his buddies. Sgt. 1st Class John Thomas Stone was happiest when he was moving, a kid who'd listen in awe and big-eyed wonderment to the tales told by his big brother Dana, a legendary photojournalist who carved a life of perilous journey. Stone, who went by his middle name, was a junior in high school when Dana, on assignment for CBS News, disappeared in Cambodia along with Sean Flynn, the son of actor Errol Flynn. more ------------------------------------------------------------------------ April 7, 2006 Brother's disappearance motivated U.S. soldier killed in Afghanistan By WILSON RING Toronto Sun MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - When Tom Stone joined the Army in 1971, one of his reasons for doing so was unusual: He hoped to find clues about his brother's disappearance in Southeast Asia the year before. He never did find what he was looking for, but he spent the next 35 years in and out of the military. That career came to an end last week when Stone, 52, a sergeant first class with the Vermont National Guard, was killed in Afghanistan, possibly by friendly fire. Military representatives of the United States, Canada and Afghanistan will investigate his death, officials said Tuesday. more Last edited by Bipa; 04-07-2006 at 06:25 AM. |

Thanks for the links Andrew. Nice to get a little more of the story than the mainstream media feeds you.
