I pulled your e-mail address of the site GI Special.
I fell across it while searching articles regarding my son KIA Gowardesh, Afghanistan, 6/21/06.
My son's name is SSG Patrick L. Lybert. He was serving with the 1 3-71 Cav, 10th Mountain Division.
I am not that skilled with the computer.
I am desperately seeking specific news regarding what actually happened during the conflict he was killed in.
Do you have anything specific submitted regarding that? If so could you e-mail it to me.
I was told one version by 3 military upper command. And, then I was told another version through "the grapevine".
I am devastated.
Feel I need the truth.
If you have some info, truthful, valid only. Please relay it to me.
Thank you,
Cheryl

Unfortunately, there is a long record of misinformation given to the families of those killed in these wars. Here is an article about that.
