Jessica Lynch’s Ride Home Is Proud Duty
From Times Wire Reports
The mission to staff the helicopter that will bring Jessica Lynch home today had no shortage of volunteers.
The duty went to four members of the West Virginia Army National Guard’s aviation support unit in Parkersburg, each proud to help in the return of the Mountain State’s most famous soldier to her hometown of Elizabeth.
On Monday, Lynch was awarded the Bronze Star, Purple Heart and Prisoner of War medals at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington.
