A fellow soldier remembered Sergeant Jason Palmerton as more than a friend. Army Specialist Geoffrey Moore says Palmerton was more like a brother.

Palmerton was a Green Beret Special Forces Communication Sergeant who was shot and killed July 23rd while on patrol in Afghanistan.

Jason's father, Steve Palmerton, said the service was a healing experience for him.

Steve Palmerton said he was touched by how much affection his son's comrades showed for him.
