Texas today: Soldier from Texas dies in Afghanistan

How very sad whenever any of our "boys" dies in a war against fanatical Islam.  This man is a hero for us all.  I can tell you that he is more than a paragraph in a local paper. He is a son, maybe a father, a brother, a friend and I for one honor this man.  May God bless and put His arms of love around Sgt. Higgins entire family! -norino
