Thankful for soldiers

You might have seen short pieces in the media this week about Staff Sgt. Briand T. Williams, who was killed in Iraq.

He was from Sparks Georgia, a small place along I-75 in south Georgia, not quite halfway between Tifton and Valdosta.

From WALB out of Albany:
25-year-old Staff Sgt. Briand Williams died in combat when insurgents attacked his unit. He joined the army immediately after his Cook County High Graduation in 2002.

He played sports and was well liked in the Cook County town of Sparks, where he grew up.
