A Soldier Committed to the End

by John McChesney, NPR

While patrolling the streets of Baghdad in his Bradley Fighting Vehicle, Sgt. Jason Evey of Stockton, Calif., was killed by a roadside explosive device. Evey may have had doubts about the mission in Iraq, but friends say he remained a committed soldier. His parents are struggling to reconcile their own anti-war views with their respect for their son's sacrifice as a soldier.
