  3. Rudy died a hero protecting another soldier from a security guard employed by Tundra Security hired to protect the base but turned on the soldiers. Also killed was Cpl Donald Mickler from Ohio. Four others wounded. Please email your congressman and senators demanding the practice of hiring foreigners to guard our troops!
