Army Spec. David J. Brangman, 20, Lake Worth.

Killed Feb. 13, 2005.

He died in Uvanni, Iraq, when a mortar round struck his vehicle. Shaken by the Sept. 11 attacks, he entered the Army one month before the invasion of Iraq. "He wanted to do something for his country," his mother said. "And that's what he did." When Brangman called his mother from Fort Stewart, Ga., to tell her that he was leaving for Iraq, he said: "Always remember that I love you, mom, and my sister, too. If anything happens to me, I want you to know that I will always be your son...."

For what it's worth, David Brangman was killed in Samarra, Iraq. The city is not called Uvanni. It was Patrol Base Uvanni, named after Sergeant Michael A. Uvanni, who was killed in action when 1-26 Infantry invaded the city and wasted the terrorists holed up in there. I guess it is too much to ask for the news to get it right over a year after the fact.

These supposedly educated and intelligent people could not be bothered to get this stuff right.

They call destroyers battleships.

They get unit designations completely wrong.

They will call an F-15 Eagle a Hornet.

Simply pathetic. See my tagline.

Consider the sourse, palm beach post isn't worth spit.
Liberal rag thet supports Wexler and loves randi rhodes and hates our military.
