#1 This is a fine article about brave men, but, as one of the Powerline commenters points out, it would have been fitting to give the name of the seventh man who died in that house (the "terp.")

#2 I could mention every one of them and tell a similar story. I wish I knew more about Roys story, for the courage and guts displayed by our interpreters on a daily basis is an inspiration for us all.

Our milbloggers often mention their "terps" stating they don't give their real names to protect them and their families.
