So very sorry for your loss
To the family of Sgt. Kurtz. I am deeply sorry for the loss of your son. My son, Jacob Hebb, is currently in Iraq as part of the 3/509th, and I am sure he knew Sgt. Kurtz well. I can not imagine the sorrow you are feeling right now, but I'm proud that your son was serving his country and all of us. His sacrifice for freedom will never be forgotten.
