These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.

Wednesday’s Hero
Lance Cpl. Jeremy P. Tamburello
19 years old from Denver, Colorado
1st Light Armor Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force
November 8, 2005
His parents didn’t want him to enlist, but it was his passion for helping people that led L/Cpl. Jeremy Tamburello to the military. “He was a very noble, very compassionate, very brave man” said L/Cpl. Tamburello’s father, Kevin. “He knew that he was going to have to go to Iraq and he knew that he might die, but he went anyway.”
L/Cpl. Tamburello was killed by an IED while conducting combat operations near Rutbah, Iraq.

Wednesday’s Hero
Force Protection Team
Members of the force protection team at Camp Eggars, Afghanistan, assess damage resulting from an explosion near the gate. A vehicle-born improvised explosive device exploded near the German Embassy and a U.S. base. Eliminating threats such as the VBIED is the focus of Army’s 3rd Counter-IED Conference that was scheduled July 28-30.

Being that independence day is this week, I have to send out a special thank you to our men in the military. Without them, we wouldn’t have the freedom to pick out what wooden garden sheds we wanted to put in our yards or the ability to buy a log cabin if want. America thanks you!
