Cpl. Joshua Caleb Baker

We often forget how dangerous military work can be, even when combat is not involved. The training process that creates outstanding fighting men and women is often dangerous, and on occasion soldiers perish while in training.

So it is that Cpl. Joshua Caleb Baker lost his life in Afghanistan while on a training exercise. We remember him here along with all the others because like them, he was one of our sons, doing the bidding of his government, a volunteer for dangerous service.

While most recoil at the sound of the guns, our warrior go to the sound of battle ... that's why we put our security and freedom in their hands.

Thank you Joshua!
