COLUMBUS, Ohio Funerals with military honors are being held this week for the three Ohio National Guard soldiers killed in a suicide bomber attack in Afghanistan.
The services for 45-year-old Sgt. 1st Class Jeffrey Rieck of Columbus and 44-year-old Sgt. 1st Class Shawn Hannon of Grove City were held Monday in those hometowns.
Thomas Moe , director of the Ohio Veterans Services department, remembered Hannon as someone who never wavered in his fundamental belief in the country's cause.
Ohio National Guard Maj. Gen. Deborah Ashenhurst said Rieck chose a lifestyle of honor and values, earning the trust and respect of all who knew him.
They died after an April 4 attack that killed 13 people, including 36-year-old Capt. Nicholas Rozanski of suburban Dublin.

FYI
God Bless them and their families. RIP brave men.
I am at a loss for words.
In contrast to the liberals who wanted the troops home to embarrass and thwart Bush, I now want our troops home because I know they don’t have the support of the Administration.
God accept these men, and give comfort to their loved ones.
