US/UK Casualties in Syria identified
The two coalition soldiers who were killed last week near Manbij, Syria have been identified as US Special Forces Master Sergeant Johnathan J. Dunbar and UK Special Air Services Sergeant Matt Tonroe;
“Coalition forces, in an advise, assist and accompany capacity with our partners, were conducting a mission to kill or capture a known (Islamic State) member when they were struck by an improvised explosive device,” the U.S.-led coalition said Saturday in a statement to The Associated Press.
Tonroe’s commanding officer, who was not named by the MoD, said the sergeant was a “deeply intelligent man and one of life’s characters”.
“He had a steel core, served his country with pride and was a first class soldier, proven in combat, faced risk willingly and was ever ready for more,” the CO said.
“He thus died as he lived: daring and fearless in duty. We mourn his loss dearly.”

Two more Warriors taken to Valhalla before their time.
US and UK Warriors RIP …
RIP, Master Sergeant. This is what a real Army Special Forces warrior looks like and does in real service for his country.
Respect and Honor exemplified.
Prayers for their friends and Families.
When we read about the loss of real heroes such as these two brave, selfless warriors, willing to die for their countries and the freedom of the Western world, it makes the actions of the stolen valor pukes all the more egregious.
Too bad that once identified, these stolen valor pukes aren’t required as part of their sentence to stand on the street corner with a sign hanging around their neck telling the community they’ve bilked about their lies.
God bless and keep their families and their souls.
