The Things That Carried Him-SGT. Montgomery


Esquire magazine this month (MAY ISSUE) has an deeply heartwarming article that I am encouraging everyone to read. It is called: THE THINGS THAT CARRIED HIM: The True Story of a Soldiers Last trip Home. It is written by Chris Long. I call it a circular story because it starts at the end and circles back. A complete story of a soldier and his family, his friends, his town, his Army and his Country. Here is the link:


Four thousand American soldiers have died in Iraq. This is the true story of how one of them came home. PLEASE READ THIS.
This is a link for an interview with the writer, Chris Long and how he came about writing about SGT. Montgomery.
