He was assigned to the 782nd Combat Support Battalion, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, N.C.
This was on the news last night. Sgt. Ware leaves behind his parents, his wife and three young children. His father wept when he spoke on camera about trying to keep Christmas normal for the children. I know a lot of hearts went out to that family last night from people who saw it on the 10 o'clock news.
