After Bobby Franklin was called up by the North Carolina National Guard, his colleagues at the Carlton Colwell Probation and Detention Center made sure he periodically received care packages filled with comforts from home. Franklin supervised inmates working on construction projects in the community. The 38-year-old Franklin of Murphy, N.C., was killed Aug. 20 when an improvised explosive device detonated near his vehicle in Iraq. Family members had tried to talk the longtime reservist into calling it quits last year. "He was within a year of retirement," said Tim Nicholson, his brother-in-law. "That''s why he went back this time." Franklin is survived by his wife, Brenda, and two children.

I know it has been a few years since Bobby fell, but as a Vietnam Marine Corps Veteran, I just want to offer my condolences and thanks for his ultimate sacrifice in defense of the Constitution of the United States and the cause of freedom.
