The latest local police and fire newsFuneral held for our fallen soldier
Funeral services were held today at St. Francis Xavier Church in Hyannis for Army Sgt. Alexander Henry Fuller of Centerville. Fuller was killed in Iraq January 25th.
Alexander Fuller, taken from us too soon
Mourned by family and Governor yesterday
Family members were joined by fellow veterans and Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick who is seen here offering condolences to Fuller's pregnant widow Anastacia. Fuller will be buried in the Massachusetts National Cemetery in Bourne.
Fuller, 21, was sitting in the passenger seat of a Humvee in Baghdad on Jan. 25 when a bomb exploded and killed him.
He died two days after he had called his wife, Anastacia, 19, to tell her how beautiful she looked pregnant. He planned to name his first child Alice when she is born in April, relatives said.

Read the Mike Barnicle column in today's Herald here, "...The wake for Alex Fuller was held Monday night at the Doane, Beal & Ames Funeral Home in Hyannis, an evening so cold that whispers seemed to freeze in the air. The young soldier grew up in Centerville, attended Newton North High and Barnstable High School, got his GED and then signed up to serve his country."

I would hate to think that all these brave young men and women are in Iraq "to avenge the killings of innocent Americans on 9/11."
Civilized western nations do not avenge. (We may retaliate, but that's different from avenging.)
Avenging is why the middle east is in such a mess, because no one ever stops avenging.
And Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.
