The Passing of a Hero...

Master Sargeant Jared Van Aalst,, special operations for the United States Army Rangers was killed in action on Wednesday during a combat operation in the Konduz province of Afghanistan.

Jared was born in Laconia and was a friend. I got to know Jared through another friend of mine who is also an Army Ranger.

He was married and had a 7 year old daughter Kaylie and a 22 month old daughter Ava.

My flag at my camp on Welch Island fly's at 1/2 mast in honor of Jared. If your passing by Welch this weekend and see my flag, please give a moment of silence to honor someone who gave the ultimate sacrifice for all of us. Please keep Jared's family in your thoughts and prayers...

Thank You;

Dan
