Slain U.S. Soldier Laid To Rest

Army Times

More than 700 people attended yesterday's funeral of a U.S. soldier from Ohio killed in what the Pentagon says was a friendly fire air strike in Afghanistan. 25-year-old U.S. Army Specialist Justin Helton of Beaver was among five soldiers killed June 9 while serving in a joint security operation in southern Afghanistan. The funeral was at Helton's former high school.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
