Jonathan Metzger

The first month of 2012 brought tragedy to a friend of mine. Erica Metzger lost her husband, Staff Sgt. Jonathan Metzger, on January 6th. He died serving his country in Afghanistan. I had the privilege of attending his funeral and spending time with those who knew him best, and although I didn't know him well, I came away knowing that without a doubt he was a true American Hero.
