I don't normally post American deaths because I am tired of worshiping the warfare state!
This place is like Nazi Germany now, and you have to be pro-war or pro-military.
Even if the WARS are based on UNHOLY FUCKING LIES!!!
So, America is through, and I hope you enjoy your sons and daughters, fathers and wives dying for the shitstink ambitions of the state of Iz-ray-hell, 'Murkns!
Eat up!
"Maine soldier killed in Iraq was proud of military service" by Megan Woolhouse/Boston Globe December 17, 2007
Residents of a town in rural Maine near the Canadian border grieved the death of a native son this weekend with the news that Army Sergeant First Class Jonathan A. Lowery died in a gunfire attack in Mosul, Iraq.
Lowery, 38, a former drill sergeant and father of two, was killed Friday when his unit came under small arms fire, Army officials said. The sergeant's brother, Lawrence, said he had no additional details about the circumstances surrounding the death, which he said remains under investigation. He said it was his brother's second tour in Iraq.
Lawrence Lowery, in a phone interview yesterday:
"He was very well versed in combat . . . and he was a commanding presence. He was very proud of what he did in the military."
Born and raised in Houlton, a town of 6,500, Lowery grew up the second youngest of six children. He was fond of hunting and fishing in the remote town, home to a Smith & Wesson plant and pudding manufacturer Tate and Lyle.
After graduating from high school, Lowery took some college courses and served in the National Guard before enlisting in the Army. Lawrence Lowery said his brother's decision to join the military was influenced by an older brother who had joined the Air Force.
Lowery stayed in the military for the next 19 years, stationed at points across the United States and abroad. He fought in Kosovo, and most recently, the soldier, who was divorced, worked as a senior drill sergeant at Fort Sill in Oklahoma, not far from where his two sons, ages 8 and 11 live. At the time of his death, he was assigned to the Third Squadron, Third Armored Cavalry Regiment, III Corps in Fort Hood, Texas.
Lawrence Lowery said Jonathan had been promoted to sergeant first class earlier this year.
Army officials said flags will be flown at half-staff on the day of Lowery's funeral. A date and time has not been set. His remains have not yet been returned to Houlton, where his father and other family members live.
Paul Cleary, chairman of the Houlton Town Council, said the news has deeply affected many in the town. Lowery was remembered at church services yesterday.
Cleary said he would offer a request for a resolution honoring Lowery and recognizing his years of service at the next Council meeting:
"We all joke about how small Houlton is, and how we all know each other. At a time like this, it's a good thing. We work to help each other through."
Not trying to be callous and offensive, but HOW ABOUT ENDING THIS FUCKING THING so that NO MORE Sgt. Lowery's have to DIE, huh?
Fuck the fealty to the lying warfare state of the ultimate mass-murderer, George W. Bush!
