My heart and prayers go out to the family of this brave warrior fighting for our country. No amount of thanks can express the gratitude of not one but grateful nations, The Comanche, Kiowa and United States all and one. Not only has our country lost one of our finest but our tribe has too. Prayers that The Great Spirit may welcome our brother Joshua with open arms.
