El Dorado, Kansas
When Dustin Peters returned to Arkansas after serving six months in Iraq, he volunteered to serve again with a group of young soldiers. Master Sgt. Glen Dagen said Peters'' only reason for returning was to take care of the troops. "His fear was that he was going to have his young troops from Little Rock (in Iraq) and he couldn''t be there to take care of them," Dagen said. Peters, 25, of El Dorado, Kan., died July 11 when his convoy was hit by homemade bombs near Mosul, three weeks from returning home. He was assigned to Little Rock Air Force Base. He was awarded the Bronze Star with Valor and a Purple Heart posthumously. The medals were given to his son. Peters'' mother said her son was proud of his service in the Air Force and wanted to make it his career. "I asked him if he was scared, and he said ''I just try to help the people who are scared,''" said Linda Benning.
On this Memorial Day again I want to say thanks for all you did for this country. It has been 21 years since you passed away. I pray God is watching over your family.
