Fallen Soldiers and Heroes

Sgt Jonathan Cadavero,24, Tuxedo, NY. KIA Baghdad, Iraq, 27 February, 2007. HHC, 2d BSTB, 2d BDE, 10th Mountain DIV. Jon was an amazing, godly man. He was a medic attached to our Engineer unit, who were 'IED hunters', an extremely dangerous job. Jon loved his job as a Soldier and a medic. He wanted to be a Soldier since he was a child and fulfilled that desire after he graduate from college. He volunteered his time with veterans long before he became one. He loved to read, learn, and laugh. I served with him in Iraq and was blessed to call him a dear friend. He loved God dearly and tried to honor God in all he did. His last conversation with his sister he talked about not having any regrets, the fact that he would do it all over again, and he loved being an American. That was Jon. A true American. He wanted to go to Iraq so he could help. That was Jon. A helper, healer. Jon was always there for his friends, family, Soldiers. That was Jon. A Hero. -Kristy R Paulson "All gave some, some gave all!"
