Another Lake City, TN soldier killed overseas
Local media is reporting the death of soldier Jason Hovater, who was serving in Afghanistan, over the weekend. He was reportedly originally from Lake City, TN, my hometown. I didn't know Jason and I don't know his family but my heart goes out to them and I hope you'll join me in praying for his family, including his parents and young bride.
Here's some links to the breaking news stories on Jason Hovater:

A little more than one year ago, David "Tiger" Connell, also of Lake City, was killed in Iraq. If you want to read about him, links to several stories are posted below.

This just breaks my heart. I will be praying for his family.
We watched "Stop Loss" last night and I thought it was really well done. It really makes you think...and it makes you sad. Does anyone really have the answer to this war?
