The story

HOPE MILLS, N.C. (AP) — A decorated Green Beret who returned from his fifth deployment to Afghanistan last summer died Tuesday trying to rescue his two young daughters from their burning home near Fort Bragg. The girls were also killed in the blaze.

This is a real shame. Shows that these returning Vets and active military are always trying to help people.

Another true example of the unselfish acts our troops do to help those who need it. May he and his daughters rest in peace.
