The Price of FreedomOn September 29th, 2010, Senior Airman Mark Forester, beloved son, brother and friend was killed in Afghanistan while attempting to save a fallen comrade. We hope that you find Mark's example a source of inspiration, patriotism and proof that heroes are real.
Mark was a member of the 21st Special Tactics Squadron, Pope Field (formerly Pope AFB) NC. His website is dedicated to all Combat Controllers as well as US Servicemen, both past and present. We are eternally grateful for their service and sacrifice and for the freedoms we enjoy. Mark Andrew Forester - JAG 28 (May 15, 1981 - September 29, 2010) “...No, I'm 30 meters to the east of that tree line standing in the wide open brown field all by myself like a big dummy.” - "My Brother in Arms" Ch. 11
