Our first Hero Award goes to two young men from the same family-----James Duff, son of Sterling and Shirrale Legate. James graduated from high school at Clearwater, Nebraska in 1985 and joined the Army Reserve soon after. He did a tour of duty in Iraq in 2003. At the present time he is serving the Army Reserves where ever needed.
James's brother, Doug following in his brothers foot steps, joined the army while a senior in high school. Doug graduated in May of 1988 and started his training in August at Fort Binning Georgia. After his training he was sent on 3 missions to Panama. On his 3rd mission he left in December 1989 expecting to be home for Christmas --- his mission was extended ---- January 1st,1990 he was killed by friendly fire.
Sterling and Shirrale, there are no words to take away your hurt, you have given so much.
Jim and Doug Duff are our Heroes this week ---
Both gave some --One gave all.
To these young men and all our military --- Thank you.
