There can be no winners when a U.S. soldier comes home in a transfer case, draped with the U.S. flag. But one father refused to accept the official story of his son’s death in Iraq, and fought the U.S. Army to force it to acknowledge that perhaps his son didn’t need to die.

Battleland knows how tough it can be to fight the U.S. Army. Congratulations to David Sharrett Sr., a retired English teacher in suburban Virginia just outside Washington, D.C., for prevailing. His son, David II, can now rest a little easier.
