~snip~

OMAHA, Neb. - Marine Lance Cpl. Shane Kielion was killed in action in Iraq (news - web sites) not knowing that his first child had been born just hours before.

April Kielion, the Marine's widow and high school sweetheart, gave birth to a boy in Omaha on Monday, said Kielion's old high school football coach, Jay Ball.


"She's hanging in there," Ball said. "She's a strong woman. She's got a terrific family and lots of supportive friends."

~snip~

"He was excited about his baby on the way and he always told me how beautiful his wife was," Ball told KMTV News in Omaha.

Shane Kielion

Shane Kielion married his high school sweetheart last year. His wife, April, had their first child, a son, Monday.


http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_pg=1636&u_sid=1260647








Father and son will never meet. Kielion died Monday in combat in Iraq. A family friend thought the Marine corporal died in Fallujah, which would make him the second Nebraskan to die in the intense battle for control of the Iraqi city. He was the first Omahan to die in combat in Iraq. Family members declined immediate comment.

Kielion graduated from Omaha South High School in 1999, where as quarterback his senior year he led a team that snapped an 11-game losing streak and made the Class A playoffs. He attended Peru State College briefly on a football scholarship.

His coach at South High, Jay Bell, said Kielion became a Marine to provide a better life for his family. Kielion, on leave from Iraq, stopped by a practice in August. He was proud of being a South graduate and proud of being a Marine, Bell said. "His last words to me were, 'Coach, I'm going back to Falluja.


KIA THE SAME DAY HIS SON WAS BORN

THE DISRUPTOR OF THE THREAD Accused me of SkullF***ing the dead for liberal causes.

Then he called the Late Sen. Paul Wellstone a Cross-eyed JEW and opined the Air Crash that killed him may have straightened his eyes out.

You might want to check the prior thread out.

9. FUCK Bush & Co.
They're not pro-life, just pro-birth.
After that they're murderers.

10. And the Trolls the Freepers send here are WORTHLESS SCUM
They look upon the service people like they do on plumbers coming to unclog their toilets.

They are in this war for $$$$$$$$$$ and some kind of weird religious dogma

13.  TX Marine's letter to his son

Below is a quote from another killed Marine's letter to his son. It was read during the funeral.


http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/metropolitan/2909843


"You're the sweetest little man. Be studious, stay in school and stay away from the military. I mean it. Always be a man. If you make mistakes, stand up and say so."

Sooooooooooooo sad

;(
