Joshua Dingler - An American Hero

Today marked one year since Joshua Dingler gave his life in the service of his country in Iraq. Tommy, Josh’s dad works with us at SafeBrowse. While I didn’t really know Josh other than as a passing acquaintance, I have never before been so close to a family that has lost a member serving in the armed forces.

I have to say it is a really strange set of feelings that even one year out I don’t think I have completely come to grips with. A mix of incredible pride and sorrow at the same time. I have seen this represented in Josh’s family time and time again. Josh, his little brother Samuel, his father Tommy, and his mother Karen are all American Heros in my book.

My buddy Ron knew Spc. Joshua Dingler better than I did, and has been keeping his memory alive online. I don’t care if you are pro-war or anti-war, take just a few minutes and read about Josh and his contribution to the freedoms you enjoy as an American. Because no matter what side of the fence you are on Josh paid the ultimate price to protect YOUR freedom.
