On Saturday the United States Government released the name of a soldier who was killed by an IED in Syria. 36 year old, Master Sgt. Jonathan Dunbar, of Austin, Texas, was deployed in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. He died from his wounds Thursday.

This is a stark reminder to all Americans that the fight continues. 17 years after the September 11 terrorist attacks, American service men and women are still deployed around the world in defense of the homeland.
