SFC Johnny Walls was the Advisor to the attached Afghan National Army unit. He was the first person killed in the ambush, the second was the Afghani soldier next to him.

^ Thanks Greenwolf...

just hit me hard because my son has the very same name acept the middle names are different

SPC. Johnny R. Walls

Although my son only met SFC Walls that morning he made a rather deep impression on him. The three soldiers on that truck made the decision to not leave the battle without SFC Walls. They drove into the jaws of that ambush to get SFC Walls out. As they told me later they would not leave that body to be desecrated by the Taliban. SFC Johnny Walls deserved better than that.

He also deserved better than that bunch of religious loonies who protested at his funeral. I don't know what I would do if they appeared at my son's funeral. God forgive them because I most certainly would not.

protesters at funerals should be stoned and buried alive.

I am a member of the PGR here in Illinois and have/had attended 5 memorials for our Fallen here locally...

My first one was December-05 a local soldier and I was not a PGR member until I returned home that evening...

Those people were there and so was about 1000 of us.. we walled off their BS from family and friends.. they stuck around maybe 10 minutes tops and left..

from what I understand they have ACLU attorneys that travel and protest with them.. just looking for things to get out of hand.. Our State Police since then have always been at the Memorials and no troubles other then their sick agenda bs... Illinois Lt Gov Pat Quin and others pushed through Legislation. that they have to be 300 yrds away from any entrances or premisses... so the last few I had attended I did not even know they were there?

We had some Iraq War protesters in town a few years ago and I jumped the curb one morning on the way to work. You never seen people moving so fast. I half expected a visit from the police the rest of that day, but ut never happened. This is after all a military town.
