Introduction
"Of every 100 men, 10 shouldn't even be there, 80 are nothing but targets, nine are real fighters," the e-mail said. "Ah, but one, one of them is a Warrior and he will bring the others back." ...was a quote from Hericletus in 500 B.C.
This is the way Sargent Jonathan Hartman ended every e-mail home to his mother. He was killed Saturday April 17 when his convoy was ambushed near Diwaniyah in southern Iraq.
Sargent Hartman's funeral service was held last week at the First Baptist Church in Waynesville, Ohio and he was buried nearby in the Miami Cemetery in Corwin.
