Shane Kielion

Father and son will never meet. Kielion died Monday in combat in Iraq. A family friend thought the Marine corporal died in Fallujah, which would make him the second Nebraskan to die in the intense battle for control of the Iraqi city. He was the first Omahan to die in combat in Iraq. Family members declined immediate comment.

Kielion graduated from Omaha South High School in 1999, where as quarterback his senior year he led a team that snapped an 11-game losing streak and made the Class A playoffs. He attended Peru State College briefly on a football scholarship.

His coach at South High, Jay Bell, said Kielion became a Marine to provide a better life for his family. Kielion, on leave from Iraq, stopped by a practice in August. He was proud of being a South graduate and proud of being a Marine, Bell said. "His last words to me were, 'Coach, I'm going back to Falluja.


KIA THE SAME DAY HIS SON WAS BORN

8. I sure do LOVE this rightwingnut's "CHRISTIAN MORAL VALUES"

What a fine example of rightwingnuttery it is!

QUOTE from the rightwingnut thing:

"You ought to be taken out like a dog, and shot, you fucking cocksucking asshole. Please, please, leave this country, you sarcastic, hateful piece of horseshit"

And ya KNOW it doesn't even see the irony.

ROTFLMAO!!!

[WildClarySage]

24. Shouldn't this freeper

be over in Iraq since he supports *Grimly Fiendish so much? Where did those darned enlistment papers go?

[DeaconBlues]

9. Quite a fetish for fellatio you got there

Come out of the closet, you'll feel much better.

[ogradda]

10. lmao

o, good shot :)

[War Pigs]

11. What the hell did I miss here?

[LynnTheDem]

12. Just another ignorant rightwingnut displaying his CHRISTIAN MORAL VALUES

by spewing SARCASTIC, HATEFUL crap.

The usual garbage from ignorant rightwingnuts. ;)

[DeaconBlues]

14. Just a right-winger who is busy projecting his fantasies here on DU n/t

[ogradda]

16. shouldn't have been caught napping

a finer display of foul -mouthed freeperism has seldom been seen :)

[War Pigs]

19. And they say you can't have fun after last call. I'm searching for a

"Who Would Jesus Bomb?" bumper sticker to go right next to my "Navy Veteran" license plate. Any ideas? I guess I'm more of the sarcastic, smartass type.:crazy:

[kat21]

29. Find bumpersticker here.

31. Great stickers thanks

[saigon68]

18. Accused me of SkullF***ing the dead for liberal causes

It went DOWN HILL FROM THERE. I won't post anymore of it. It is obvious the loss of this young man to his family, new son and country --didn't affect him/her at all.

He wasn't a troop supporter or even someone one who thought the war was wrong. It was just an Ass***e out to waste Bandwidth.

[TomClash]

20. You keep it up!

You honor this boy by posting this article.

[drhilarius]

15. In another thread he wonders about Kerry's penis...

And now with that pic of cheney floating around...this guy needs to flog the chief, get out his frustration, and he'll feel better.

[LynnTheDem]

17. LOL!!!

A mind-pic I so do NOT want...a sociopathic ignorant little rightwignnut "flogging" his little "chief", thx. :D

[NewYorkerfromMass]

23. ZINGaroo!

Damn that's biting!

[ElectroPrincess]

30. Hey, as a former resident of Omaha ...

I resemble that comment. <g>

But seriously - this is profound and sadly received in the heartland.

Very tragic news.

[llmart]

21. So, we're over 1200 now?

Will we hear this in the mainstream media or are they spewing the crap about how many died "after the end of major combat", or "after the fall of the statue", or prior to this Thanksgiving but before Easter" - you know all those qualifiers the media like to use so that the numbers sound better.

[bleedingheart]

22. How tragic

there will be a void in that child's life forever. My sister never knew her dad since he died when she was 4 mos old....

I feel for the families of all these soldiers.

[seemslikeadream]

25. HOW MANY MORE GEORGIE, HOW MANY MORE?

[saigon68]

26. kick for day crew

[TNOE]

27. As many as it takes

for ole Georgie and buds pockets. When those are all gone, he'll send more.

[saigon68]

28. A lot of sheep seem eager

Must be the feel good benefit of being able to off a man of color.

Saw some of those "defenders of freedom' in a minor skirmish a few years ago.
