Army Sgt. Felix Del Greco

April 9th was the fourth anniversary that Connecticut National Guard Army Sgt. Felix Del Greco was killed in action in Baghdad, Iraq. This photo was taken on New Year's Day 2004 before he shipped out for that tour of duty which he volunteered for, to serve his country and to help people live freely.
There's so much that can and should be said about the situation. He and I argued the merits of going, but I always understood that he was volunteering to do what was right. I know this because we discussed it. But more than that, because I watched him grow up and knew the kind of person he was. More than that, the kind of leader he was. He was an amazing person and will forever be an inspiration to all he touched. And to me, all the more reason why WAR is wrong.
