30 years old from Smithville, Tennessee

Sgt. Shannon Taylor died of injuries sustained on August 13, 2005, in Tuz, Iraq, while he was conducting a mounted patrol his HMMWV(High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, aka Humvee) came under attack by enemy forces using rocket-propelled grenades and small arms fire.
These brave men and women have given their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
If you have a loved who has served or is currently serving in the armed forces, and would like for me to profile them as a Wednesday Hero, I would be proud to. Just email me with some info and a photo.
We Have Every Right To Dream Heroic Dreams.
