Blackfive has a last request made by one of the brave men that paid the ultimate price in Iraq. He wanted Toby Keiths "American Soldier" played at his funeral. This man is a patriot even in his death!
Davids family and friends want to go one better, and want to try to have as many radio stations playing the song on the air at one time in memorium to him, in as many parts of the couintry as possible. In this way they feel they can honor David in the way it was most like him.
If you don't listen to country music, there is a link in his post to where you can find the station(s) in your area.
This man gave his all in OUR defense, the LEAST we can do is spend just a few minutes of our time to try to honor him in a way he would have found delightfull.
He is being laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetary at 10 Am EST on the 15th of December.
David's family and friends are asking radio stations to play Toby Keith's "American Soldier" on the 15th at 1pm EST with a dedication to Specialist David Mahlenbrock.
Let's make this happen!
