Freedom Is Not Free: Two U.S. Soldiers Killed in Afghanistan; David Masters Tweets, 'They Killed My Son'

A wonderful day ends on a sad note.

Via Michelle Malkin, "Thank you, Aaron: A U.S. Soldier’s Sacrifice on Independence Day":

Got back to my hotel after a wonderful time at the Dallas Tea Party only to read of a father’s heartbreak.

David M. Masters passed along devastating news on Twitter this evening that his son, Aaron, was one of two American soldiers killed by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan today.

His message:

David Masters posted a new tweet:

Thank you all so much for thanking Aaron, and thank you all for love and support... #thankyouaaron #1... amen.

The New York Times story is here, "2 U.S. Soldiers Killed in Taliban Attack."

Please join me in saying a prayer for David Masters.

And God Bless our U.S. service personnel. Thank you for staking your lives for the preservation of freedom. All Americans shared that bounty today.
