Greg also told me the tremendously moving story of two parents that he met last night.

Their son, Sergeant First Class Nathan Chapman was a member of the 1st Special Forces Group, and was the first combat casualty of the War on Terror. He was killed by small arms fire while leaving a meeting with tribal leaders in Afghanistan in January 2002. His parents, Lynn and Will Chapman (pictured below) decided to honor the memory and service of their son by starting the Nathan Chapman Memorial Fund. The Fund, part of the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund, provides scholarships for children of fallen soldiers in the Central Texas region, home of the largest Army base, Fort Hood. The fund has raised over $20,000 to date, and is preparing for its annual golf tournament in Georgetown, TX on September 10th and 11th.

From Freedom Allia...

The Nathan Chapman Memorial Fund website includes more information about this hero.

On January 4th, 2002, near the city of Khost, Afghanistan, Sergeant First Class Nathan R. Chapman became the first American soldier killed by enemy fire in the War on Terror. Although mortally wounded, SFC Chapman heroically returned fire until losing consciousness and is credited with saving the lives of his comrades.

Greg called Mr. and Mrs. Chapman "the salt of the earth" when I spoke to him. It's easy to see why.

Remember that it’s not too late to attend a Hannity concert yourself; the only remaining show will be in New Jersey on September 11. I can think of no better way to honor the sixth anniversary of the tragic event than to attend a concert which benefits the children of America's military heroes who have been killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty.

I've already included a few of the pictures Greg took at the show, but be sure to view the slideshow below for more.
