Bonners Ferry Honors Fallen Soldier

Friends and family of fallen soldier Sergeant Joshua Kirk gathered to mourn his death and to pay their respects one final time Friday in Bonners Ferry. Sgt. Kirk was killed Oct. 3rd when insurgents attacked his outpost near the Pakistani border.“I just could not imagine anything happening to him,” Joshua’s sister, Liz Fulton said. “When I was told Josh had died, my heart fell to the floor.”Boy Scouts and Patriot Guard members lined the streets of Sgt. Kirk’s hometown — Bonners Ferry. He eventually moved away from northern Idaho, married and had a child. The one constant in his life is that he always wanted to be a soldier his family says. This was Kirk’s second tour-of-duty; he had already served one 15-month tour of duty in Afghanistan/ KXLY , More here .
